on. Until at last, outspent with energy, he
draws a deep breath of exhaustion, and realizes that he is weariness
itself. The moon has sunk in Arno: the stars are half-way across the
sky: a cold glimmer of dawn is palpitating along the East, as Byron--
"Again to that accustom'd couch must creep
Where joy subsides, and sorrow sighs to sleep."
After day's fitful fever he sleeps well: and rest, a few short hours of
it, is due to that perturbed spirit, which now,
... O'erlabour'd with his being's strife,
Shrinks to that sweet forgetfulness of life ...
That sleep, the loveliest, since it dreams the least.
(_Lara._)
