To me it was a long night of tossing and half-sleep, hearing the wild stormy wind, and dreaming of strange things, praying all the time that the noble soul might be won for God at last, and almost feeling, like the Icelander during the conversion of his country, the struggle between the dark spirits and the white.
The driving impulse upon the outlying tracts of consciousness usually submerged had been tremendous. "That time," he heard Stahl saying in an oddly distant voice from across the cabin, "you were nearly out " "You heard? You saw it all?" he murmured as in half-sleep. For it was an effort to focus his mind even upon simple words.
Almost before the patient had swallowed it, she had fallen back on her pillow in a drowsy half-sleep, with what seemed an increased colour, to eyes that were on the watch for it. She remained so until after the doctor's visit at six o'clock. The doctor admitted that she had picked up a very little, and when she awoke would probably have another spell of brightness.
When I entered the ball, behold, I saw the same thing, albeit I was now awake, as I had seen yestermorn in my half-sleep. Yet was it not Uhlwurm, but Kubbeling, to whom Ann was paying court.
Then she aroused the woodsman from his half-sleep to give him coffee, cup after cup of it that used up the last of their meager supply. It is one of the peculiar faculties of the human body to recover quickly from the effects of severe cold.
"Ah darling!" he breathed, between his pants, and with an effort drew her hand to his lips. Then they were his last words, whispered very low "Never mind now, Debbie so long as you are here." He seemed to drowse into a kind of half-sleep, in spite of his too obvious and audible suffering.
In a similar way the laboratory may furnish means to analyze the mental disturbances by a comparison with the experimental results of artificial influences, for instance, of over-fatigue or half-sleep, of drugs or alcohol, of poisons and emotional excitements.
In this life, they were her all, and she accounted that life full and rich. As she served, she heard the slow patter of February rain on the shelf outside of the window, where her flowers stood in summer. The great city was sinking into such half-sleep as it took between midnight and dawn; the shriek and rush of incoming and outgoing trains grew less frequent.
Lacking self-confidence and ignorant of yourself, you have made it a virtue to keep silence and not wake your husband while he sleeps; you have got into the habit of walking on the tips of your toes so as not to disturb the household, and your husband, in the midst of this refreshing half-sleep, has begun to yawn luxuriously; then he has gone out to his club, where he has been received like the prodigal son, while you, poor poet without pen or ink, have consoled yourself by watching your sisters follow the same road as yourself.
These hints come sometimes in dreams, sometimes in sudden startling flashes, second wakings, as it were, a waking out of the waking state, which last is very apt to be a half-sleep. I have many times stopped short and held my breath, and felt the blood leaving my cheeks, in one of these sudden clairvoyant flashes.
