There are times when temperamental failings, or the gravity of our affliction, places our imagination beyond our ordinary control. The suggestion operates in spite of us; we do not seem to possess the power to rid our minds of the adverse thought. Under these conditions we should never struggle to throw off the obsessing idea by force.
So I told her all about myself ... my ambition ... my struggles ... my morbidity ... my lack of experience with girls and women.... "And I must have experience soon ... it's obsessing me ... it can't last this way much longer ... I shall go mad."
Steadily this thought of stealing kept growing in his soul, obsessing him, evolving into a resistless, overwhelming determination. As if to increase his torment, the emerald necklace which served as an advertisement for the shop, found no purchaser. It was far too dear.
But they did not take Christophe in: in vain did they muffle themselves up in a complicated language, and make superhuman and prodigious efforts, go into orchestral fits, or cultivate inorganic harmonies, an obsessing monotony, declamations a la Sarah Bernhardt, beginning in a minor key, and going on for hours plodding along like mules, half asleep, along the edge of the slippery slope always under the mask Christophe found the souls of these men, cold, weary, horribly scented, like Gounod and Massenet, but even less natural.

He hoped by these occupations to free himself from his obsessing thoughts of Vera. He knew he would do better to begin a big piece of work, instead of these trifles.
