In this chapter, the narrator laments the fact that he has not yet found love. He feels that it is too late for him to fall in love with someone, and he resolves to get back to work as soon as possible. He says that his schedule is starting to fill up when he focuses on the things that are in front of him. He tells us that his work is full of "new and unique ideas" and that he feels that his own life is trivial in comparison to his work. The narrator then tells the audience that he does not want to bring his feelings into his work, and that it looks like he is not interested in marriage. He also tells them that if he gets married, his youth and love will end, and it will all be over.
