[00:00:12] Lesson Eleven On Getting off to Sleep
[00:00:14] What a bundle of contradictions is a man!
[00:00:18] Surety, humour is the saving grace of us,
[00:00:21] for without it we should die of vexation.
[00:00:24] With me, nothing illustrates the contrariness
[00:00:28] of things better than the matter of sleep.
[00:00:31] If, for example, my intention is to write an essay,
[00:00:35] and 1 have before me ink and pens and several sheets of virgin paper,
[00:00:40] you may depend upon it that before I have gone very far
[00:00:43] I feel an overpowering desire for sleep,
[00:00:47] no matter what time of the day it is.
[00:00:50] I stare at the reproachfully blank paper until sights
[00:00:55] and sounds become dim and confused,
[00:00:58] and it is only by an effort of will that I can continue at all.
[00:01:04] Even then, I proceed half-heartedly, in a kind of dream.
[00:01:09] But let me be between the sheets at a late hour,
[00:01:14] and I can do any-thing but sleep.
[00:01:17] Between chime and chime of the clock I can write essays by the score.
[00:01:23] Fascinating subjects and noble ideas come pell-mell,
[00:01:28] each with its appropriate imagery and expression.
[00:01:33] Nothing stands between me and half-a-dozen imperishable masterpieces
[00:01:38] but pens, ink, and paper.
