Probably, if I had lately left a good home and kind parents, this would have been the hour when I should most keenly have regretted the separation; that wind would then have saddened my heart; this obscure chaos would have disturbed my peace! as it was, I derived from both a strange excitement, and reckless and feverish, I wished the wind to howl more wildly, the gloom to deepen to darkness, and the confusion to rise to clamour.
Il est probable que, si j'avais quitté une maison aimée, des parents bons pour moi, à cette heure j'aurais vivement regretté la séparation. Le vent aurait navré mon coeur; cet obscur chaos aurait troublé mon âme: mais dans la situation où j'étais, je ne trouvais dans toutes ces choses qu'une étrange excitation.
