No good will come of young ladies reading novels.
I do believe I have squandered the hours quite recklessly in the study of British Literature.
Now it is shamefully late and I am not sleeping as I should be.
But my mind is buzzing electrically with fiction, conjecture, and the tedious tethers of historical facts. When one starts to sluff off sleep in favor of biography and context reading, perhaps that is evidence enough that one is in the right line of work with this literature business.
Someone told me today that he has decided to law school because the full-time study of English literature is impossible.
For me, it would be more impossible to give up the study.
And now the morning sprinklers are coming on.
