She sighed faintly. Then she dipped again into her novel, wherein the emotions, from love downwards, were turned on thick and violent as from so many taps in a factory; got bored with it; looked on to the last chapter to see what happened to everybody; and, finally—fell asleep.

CHAPTER XIII

To me alone there came a thought of griefs

A timely utterance gave that thought relief,

And I again am strong:

I hear the echoes through the mountains throng,

The winds come to me from the fields of sleep,

And all the earth is gay....

Ode, W. W.
