Question

« After a still winter night I awoke with the impression that some question had been put to me, which I had been endeavoring in vain to answer in my sleep, as what – how – when – where? But there was dawning Nature, in whom all creatures live, looking in my broad windows with serene and satisfied face, and no question on her lips. I awoke to an answered question, to Nature and daylight. »
