Excerpt from Men and Things of My Time
At nine o'clock, we were all between the sheets. Under the influence of weariness and excite ment, I fell like a log on the bed prepared for me in a large dormitory containing over fifty. But, the next morning, when, at five o'clock, the persistent strokes of the great bell of the college began to give the signal for awaking, I lay stiff, lifeless, numbed in every limb. Gradually, how ever, I became used to these early hours. Throughout my youth, I endured them, not without regret, but without slackness, and thus acquired the habit of manly effort instead of giving way to the promptings of the more or less indolent nature which we all possess within us.
