" "From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring — From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone — And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —

And now have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the senses? -- now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I knew that sound too. It was the beating of the old man's heart. It increased my fury, as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage.
