[00:0.0]11 On Getting Off to Sleep - 有声读物
[00:12.06]Lesson Eleven On Getting off to Sleep
[00:14.96]What a bundle of contradictions is a man!
[00:18.04]Surety, humour is the saving grace of us,
[00:21.01]for without it we should die of vexation.
[00:24.15]With me, nothing illustrates the contrariness
[00:28.09]of things better than the matter of sleep.
[00:31.37]If, for example, my intention is to write an essay,
[00:35.05]and 1 have before me ink and pens and several sheets of virgin paper,
[00:40.13]you may depend upon it that before I have gone very far
[00:43.93]I feel an overpowering desire for sleep,
[00:47.62]no matter what time of the day it is.
[00:50.62]I stare at the reproachfully blank paper until sights
[00:55.06]and sounds become dim and confused,
[00:58.21]and it is only by an effort of will that I can continue at all.
[01:06.82]Even then, I proceed half-heartedly, in a kind of dream.
[01:16.02]But let me be between the sheets at a late hour,
[01:23.73]and I can do any-thing but sleep.
[01:28.73]Between chime and chime of the clock I can write essays by the score.
[01:38.92]Fascinating subjects and noble ideas come pell-mell,
[01:47.75]each with its appropriate imagery and expression.
[01:55.07]Nothing stands between me and half-a-dozen imperishable masterpieces
[01:64.6]but pens, ink, and paper.
