But, after these great areas were thus peopled, came the Glacial epoch, during which the excessive cold, to say nothing of depression and ice-covering, must have almost depopulated all the northern parts of Arctogaea, destroying all the higher mammalian forms, except those which, like the Elephant and Rhinoceros, could adjust their coats to the altered conditions.
This spring-day of life, on which the ice-covering of the school is broken, when the tree of Hope puts forth its buds and the sun of Freedom shines, falls with us, as is well known, in the month of October, just when Nature loses her foliage, when the evenings begin to grow darker, and when heavy winter-clouds draw together, as though they would say to youth, "Your spring, the birth of the examination, is only a dream! even now does your life become earnest!"

All at once it seemed as if the ice under their feet rose rose and sank, as if some one from below were pushing it.

The expression which she put into this song was indescribable. From the deepest pain of death there flamed forth the most fiery enthusiasm each note seemed to be a lightning flash which must shiver every ice-covering of the chilled breast. As for Ludwig he was to use a familiar expression ready to jump out of his skin with sheer rapture. He interrupted her singing with boisterous "Bravas!"
Nekhludoff came down from the perron, and stepping over pools and the thin ice-covering formed on the snow, walked toward the window of the servants' quarters. His heart beat so violently that he could hear it; his breathing at times stopped, at others it escaped in a heavy sigh. A small lamp was burning in the maid-servants' room.
