The house clock, place certain there at the bottom of things, strikes the half hour dry and null. All is so much, all is so deep, all is so dark and cold!
Notes from Wikiquote
Ibid., p. 60
Every man who deserves to be famous knows it is not worth the trouble.
Was it worthwhile?
Everything is worthwhile
if the soul is not small.
Ah, to be you while being I!
To have your glad unconsciousness
And be conscious of it!
