+
+                        THE HAUNTED MIND
+
+                      By Nathaniel Hawthorne
+
+
+
+What a singular moment is the first one, when you have hardly begun to
+recollect yourself after starting from midnight slumber! By unclosing
+your eyes so suddenly, you seem to have surprised the personages of
+your dream in full convocation round your bed, and catch one broad
+glance at them before they can flit into obscurity.  Or, to vary the
+metaphor, you find yourself, for a single instant, wide awake in that
+realm of illusions, whither sleep has been the passport, and behold
+its ghostly inhabitants and wondrous scenery, with a perception of
+their strangeness, such as you never attain while the dream is
+undisturbed.  The distant sound of a church-clock is borne faintly on
+the wind. You question with yourself, half seriously, whether it has
+stolen to your waking ear from some gray tower, that stood within the
+precincts of your dream.  While yet in suspense, another clock flings
+its heavy clang over the slumbering town, with so full and distinct a
+sound, and such a long murmur in the neighboring air, that you are
+certain it must proceed from the steeple at the nearest corner.  You
+count the strokes--one--two, and there they cease, with a booming
+sound, like the gathering of a third stroke within the bell.
+
+If you could choose an hour of wakefulness out of the whole night, it
+would be this.  Since your sober bedtime, at eleven, you have had rest
+enough to take off the pressure of yesterday's fatigue; while before
+you, till the sun comes from "far Cathay" to brighten your window,
+there is almost the space of a summer night; one hour to be spent in
+thought, with the mind's eye half shut, and two in pleasant dreams,
+and two in that strangest of enjoyments, the forgetfulness alike of
+joy and woe.  The moment of rising belongs to another period of time,
+and appears so distant, that the plunge out of a warm bed into the
+frosty air cannot yet be anticipated with dismay.  Yesterday has
+already vanished among the shadows of the past; to-morrow has not yet
+emerged from the future.  You have found an intermediate space, where
+the business of life does not intrude; where the passing moment
+lingers, and becomes truly the present; a spot where Father Time, when
+he thinks nobody is watching him, sits down by the wayside to take
+breath.  O that he would fall asleep, and let mortals live on without
+growing older!
+
+Hitherto you have lain perfectly still, because the slightest motion
+would dissipate the fragments of your slumber.  Now, being irrevocably
+awake, you peep through the half-drawn window-curtain, and observe
+that the glass is ornamented with fanciful devices in frostwork, and
+that each pane presents something like a frozen dream.  There will be
+time enough to trace out the analogy, while waiting the summons to
+breakfast.  Seen through the clear portion of the glass, where the
+silvery mountain-peaks of the frost scenery do not ascend, the most
+conspicuous object is the steeple, the white spire of which directs
+you to the wintry lustre of the firmament.  You may almost distinguish
+the figures on the clock that has just told the hour.  Such a frosty
+sky, and the snow-covered roofs, and the long vista of the frozen
+street, all white, and the distant water hardened into rock, might
+make you shiver, even under four blankets and a woollen comforter.
+Yet look at that one glorious star!  Its beams are distinguishable
+from all the rest, and actually cast the shadow of the casement on the
+bed, with a radiance of deeper hue than moonlight, though not so
+accurate an outline.
+
+You sink down and muffle your head in the clothes, shivering all the
+while, but less from bodily chill than the bare idea of a polar
+atmosphere.  It is too cold even for the thoughts to venture abroad.
+You speculate on the luxury of wearing out a whole existence in bed,
+like an oyster in its shell, content with the sluggish ecstasy of
+inaction, and drowsily conscious of nothing but delicious warmth, such
+as you now feel again.  Ah! that idea has brought a hideous one in its
+train.  You think how the dead are lying in their cold shrouds and
+narrow coffins, through the drear winter of the grave, and cannot
+persuade your fancy that they neither shrink nor shiver, when the snow
+is drifting over their little hillocks, and the bitter blast howls
+against the door of the tomb.  That gloomy thought will collect a
+gloomy multitude, and throw its complexion over your wakeful hour.
+
+In the depths of every heart there is a tomb and a dungeon, though the
+lights, the music, and revelry above may cause us to forget their
+existence, and the buried ones, or prisoners whom they hide.  But
+sometimes, and oftenest at midnight, these dark receptacles are flung
+wide open.  In an hour like this, when the mind has a passive
+sensibility, but no active strength; when the imagination is a mirror,
+imparting vividness to all ideas, without the power of selecting or
+controlling them; then pray that your griefs may slumber, and the
+brotherhood of remorse not break their chain.  It is too late!  A
+funeral train comes gliding by your bed, in which Passion and Feeling
+assume bodily shape, and things of the mind become dire spectres to
+the eye. There is your earliest Sorrow, a pale young mourner, wearing
+a sister's likeness to first love, sadly beautiful, with a hallowed
+sweetness in her melancholy features, and grace in the flow of her
+sable robe.  Next appears a shade of ruined loveliness, with dust
+among her golden hair, and her bright garments all faded and defaced,
+stealing from your glance with drooping head, as fearful of reproach;
+she was your fondest Hope, but a delusive one; so call her
+Disappointment now.  A sterner form succeeds, with a brow of wrinkles,
+a look and gesture of iron authority; there is no name for him unless
+it be Fatality, an emblem of the evil influence that rules your
+fortunes; a demon to whom you subjected yourself by some error at the
+outset of life, and were bound his slave forever, by once obeying him.
+See! those fiendish lineaments graven on the darkness, the writhed lip
+of scorn, the mockery of that living eye, the pointed finger, touching
+the sore place in your heart!  Do you remember any act of enormous
+folly, at which you would blush, even in the remotest cavern of the
+earth?  Then recognize your Shame.
+
+Pass, wretched band!  Well for the wakeful one, if, riotously
+miserable, a fiercer tribe do not surround him, the devils of a guilty
+heart, that holds its hell within itself.  What if Remorse should
+assume the features of an injured friend?  What if the fiend should
+come in woman's garments, with a pale beauty amid sin and desolation,
+and lie down by your side?  What if he should stand at your bed's
+foot, in the likeness of a corpse, with a bloody stain upon the
+shroud?  Sufficient without such guilt is this nightmare of the soul;
+this heavy, heavy sinking of the spirits; this wintry gloom about the
+heart; this indistinct horror of the mind, blending itself with the
+darkness of the chamber.
+
+By a desperate effort, you start upright, breaking from a sort of
+conscious sleep, and gazing wildly round the bed, as if the fiends
+were anywhere but in your haunted mind.  At the same moment, the
+slumbering embers on the hearth send forth a gleam which palely
+illuminates the whole outer room, and flickers through the door of the
+bedchamber, but cannot quite dispel its obscurity.  Your eye searches
+for whatever may remind you of the living world.  With eager
+minuteness, you take note of the table near the fireplace, the book
+with an ivory knife between its leaves, the unfolded letter, the hat,
+and the fallen glove.  Soon the flame vanishes, and with it the whole
+scene is gone, though its image remains an instant in your mind's eye,
+when darkness has swallowed the reality.  Throughout the chamber,
+there is the same obscurity as before, but not the same gloom within
+your breast.  As your head falls back upon the pillow, you think--in a
+whisper be it spoken--how pleasant in these night solitudes would be
+the rise and fall of a softer breathing than your own, the slight
+pressure of a tenderer bosom, the quiet throb of a purer heart,
+imparting its peacefulness to your troubled one, as if the fond
+sleeper were involving you in her dream.
+
+Her influence is over you, though she have no existence but in that
+momentary image.  You sink down in a flowery spot, on the borders of
+sleep and wakefulness, while your thoughts rise before you in
+pictures, all disconnected, yet all assimilated by a pervading
+gladsomeness and beauty.  The wheeling of gorgeous squadrons, that
+glitter in the sun, is succeeded by the merriment of children round
+the door of a school-house, beneath the glimmering shadow of old
+trees, at the corner of a rustic lane. You stand in the sunny rain of
+a summer shower, and wander among the sunny trees of an autumnal wood,
+and look upward at the brightest of all rainbows, overarching the
+unbroken sheet of snow, on the American side of Niagara.  Your mind
+struggles pleasantly between the dancing radiance round the hearth of
+a young man and his recent bride, and the twittering flight of birds
+in spring, about their new-made nest.  You feel the merry bounding of
+a ship before the breeze; and watch the tuneful feet of rosy girls, as
+they twine their last and merriest dance in a splendid ballroom; and
+find yourself in the brilliant circle of a crowded theatre, as the
+curtain falls over a light and airy scene.
+
+With an involuntary start, you seize hold on consciousness, and prove
+yourself but half awake, by running a doubtful parallel between human
+life and the hour which has now elapsed.  In both you emerge from
+mystery, pass through a vicissitude that you can but imperfectly
+control, and are borne onward to another mystery. Now comes the peal
+of the distant clock, with fainter and fainter strokes as you plunge
+further into the wilderness of sleep.  It is the knell of a temporary
+death.  Your spirit has departed, and strays like a free citizen,
+among the people of a shadowy world, beholding strange sights, yet
+without wonder or dismay.  So calm, perhaps, will be the final change;
+so undisturbed, as if among familiar things, the entrance of the soul
+to its Eternal home!

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til

+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
