He hurried on to murmur aloud in fervour: Through the long night watches May Thine Angels spread Their white wings above me, Watching round my bed. A delicious idea, and even more delicious was the picture contained in the next verse. When the morning wakens, Then may I arise Pure, and fresh, and sinless In Thy Holy Eyes.

Every day there must be the glow of hard work, not the exhaustion and languor which arise from too protracted confinement to study, which have the same debilitating effect upon the mind that a similar process has upon the body, but vigorous and hardy labor, such as wakens the mind from its lethargy, summons up the resolution and the will, and puts the whole internal man into a state of determined and positive activity.

From high up comes the sound of the passage birds in flight; the air is dizzy with its own infinitude. Bareheaded and with a sunny smile the spring advances like a young giant intoxicated with his own strength, stretches out his arms and wakens everything with his song.

Our taste for castle-building and visions deepens upon us; and we chew a mental opium which stagnates all the other faculties, but wakens that of the ideal.
