Volume II. by Nathaniel Hawthorne]@TWC D-Link book Volume II. 9/18 "The germs of faculties that have heretofore slept are fast springing into activity. The world of thought is disclosing itself to his inward sight. He startles me, at times, with his perception of deep truths; and, quite as often, it must be owned, he compels me to smile by the intermixture of his former simplicity with a new intelligence. But he is bewildered with the revelations that each day brings. Out of his bitter agony, a soul and intellect, I could almost say, have been inspired into him." "Ah, I could help him here!" cried Miriam, clasping her hands. |
