forsakenness, n.All

Forsakenness (n.) may ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠come less from one's fellows than from oneself, in yielding and consenting to die.

Forsakenness (n.) in ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠being abandoned to oneself strips us of every alibi, so that the call reaches us with a cold assurance, uncanny but by no means obvious.
