The sharpness of grief has wakened the soul to the contemplation of sublime ideas truth, justice, nobility, honor, and the sense of beauty as shown in all created things. The man once loved a person now his heart goes out to the universe. The dread of death is gone, and he calmly contemplates his own end and waits the summons without either impatience or fear.

I was large and strong Because I went in for physical culture And deep breathing And all those stunts. I had the biggest biceps in Spoon River. Who can say where this thing will end? Vers libre is within the reach of all. A sleeping nation has wakened to the realization that there is money to be made out of chopping its prose into bits.
Above all, Jesus Christ interprets it at midnight in Gethsemane, when he saw the torches fluttering in the darkness, heard the clanking of sabers and soldiers' armor, and in sad, reproachful irony wakened his disciples with these words: "Sleep on, now; sleep forever if you will!

Captain Johnson seemed to be the only person who had his wits about him, and who was in a condition to render any assistance.
He was accompanied by a strange light, no bigger than your fist, which darted about the room like a living thing; and I think it must have been this light that wakened Mrs. Darling.

The resonance of its closing would have certainly wakened less accomplished sleepers than M. Niepce and his friend, whose snores continued with undisturbed regularity.
