this what it is to live again 。 。 。 to wake up with our unstilled thirst upon us; 
with our unuttered curses rising to our lips; with our muscles ready to act 
out their half…mitted sins? 
     Bertha     stood   pale   at  the   foot  of   the  bed;   quivering     and   helpless; 
despairing      of  devices;    like  a  cunning     animal    whose     hiding…places     are 
surrounded by  swift…advancing flame。               Even   Meunier looked   paralysed; 
life for that moment ceased to be a scientific problem to him。                  As for me; 
this scene   seemed   of   one   texture   with   the   rest of   my   existence:     horror 
was     my   familiar;   and    this  new    revelation    was   only    like  an   old  pain 
recurring with new circumstances。 
     * * * 
     Since     then     Bertha    and     I  have     lived    apartshe     in   her    own 
neighbourhood; the mistress of half our wealth; I as a wanderer in foreign 
countries; until I came to this Devonshire nest to die。 Bertha lives pitied 
and admired; for what had I against that   charming woman; whom  every 
one but myself could have been happy with?                There had been no witness 
of the scene in the dying room except Meunier; and while Meunier lived 
his lips were sealed by a promise to me。 
     Once or twice; weary of wandering;   I rested in a favourite spot;   and 
my heart went out towards the men and women and children whose faces 
were being familiar to me; but I was driven away again in terror at the 
approach of my old insightdriven away to live continually with the one 
Unknown Presence revealed and yet hidden by the moving curtain of the 
earth and sky。      Till at last disease took hold of me and forced me to rest 
hereforced   me   to   live   in   dependence   on   my   servants。    And   then   the 
curse of insightof my double consciousness; came again; and has never 
left me。    I know all their narrow thoughts; their feeble regard; their half… 
wearied pity。 
     * * * 
     It   is   the 20th   of   September;  1850。  I know   these   figures   I   have   just 
written; as if they were a long familiar inscription。            I have seen them on 
this   pace   in   my   desk   unnumbered   times;   when   the   scene   of   my   dying 
struggle has opened upon me 。 。 。 
     (1859)
