Since it was in Time that he was to have met his fate, so it was in Time that his fate was to have acted; and as he waked up to the sense of no longer being young, which was exactly the sense of being stale, just as that, in turn, was the sense of being weak, he waked up to another matter beside. SINCE IT WAS IN TIME THAT HE WAS TO HAVE MET HIS FATE SO IT WAS IN TIME THAT HIS FATE WAS TO HAVE ACTED AND AS HE WAKED UP TO THE SENSE OF NO LONGER BEING YOUNG WHICH WAS EXACTLY THE SENSE OF BEING STALE JUST AS THAT IN TURN WAS THE SENSE OF BEING WEAK HE WAKED UP TO ANOTHER MATTER BESIDE
stupefying consciousness of a question that he would have allowed to shape itself had he dared. What did everything mean--what, that is, did _she_ mean, she and her vain waiting and her probable death and the soundless admonition of it all--unless that, at this time of day, it was simply, it was overwhelmingly too late? He had never at any stage of his queer consciousness admitted the whisper of such a correction; he had never till within these last few months been so false to his conviction as not to hold that what was to come to him had time, whether _he_ struck himself as having it or not. That at last, at last, he certainly hadn't it, to speak of, or had it but in the scantiest measure--such, soon enough, as things went with him, became the inference with which his old obsession had to reckon: and this it was not helped to do by the more and more confirmed appearance that the great vagueness casting the long shadow in which he had lived had, to attest itself, almost no margin left. TILL WITH ANOTHER THE REALLY STUPEFYING CONSCIOUSNESS OF A QUESTION THAT HE WOULD HAVE ALLOWED TO SHAPE ITSELF HAD HE DARED WHAT DID EVERYTHING MEAN WHAT THAT IS DID SHE MEAN SHE AND HER VAIN WAITING AND HER PROBABLE DEATH AND THE SOUNDLESS ADMONITION OF IT ALL UNLESS THAT AT THIS TIME OF DAY IT WAS SIMPLY IT WAS OVERWHELMINGLY TOO LATE HE HAD NEVER AT ANY STAGE OF HIS QUEER CONSCIOUSNESS ADMITTED THE WHISPER OF SUCH A CORRECTION HE HAD NEVER TILL WITHIN THESE LAST FEW MONTHS BEEN SO FALSE TO HIS CONVICTION AS NOT TO HOLD THAT WHAT WAS TO COME TO HIM HAD TIME WHETHER HE STRUCK HIMSELF AS HAVING IT OR NOT THAT AT LAST AT LAST HE CERTAINLY HADN'T IT TO SPEAK OF OR HAD IT BUT IN THE SCANTIEST MEASURE SUCH SOON ENOUGH AS THINGS WENT WITH HIM BECAME THE INFERENCE WITH WHICH HIS OLD OBSESSION HAD TO RECKON AND THIS IT WAS NOT HELPED TO DO BY THE MORE AND MORE CONFIRMED APPEARANCE THAT THE GREAT VAGUENESS CASTING THE LONG SHADOW IN WHICH HE HAD LIVED HAD TO ATTEST ITSELF ALMOST NO MARGIN LEFT
