The excitement of the day, and this dim light of stars and bewildering mist combined to trick me. I had been amazingly imposed upon by some false wizardry of the senses. It was all absurd and fantastic; it would pass. And then, sounding across this sea of mental confusion like a bell through a fog, came the voice of John Silence bringing me back to a consciousness of the reality of it all— "Sangree—in his Double!" THE EXCITEMENT OF THE DAY AND THE DIM LIGHT OF STARS AND BEWILDERING MIST COMBINED TO TRICK ME I HAD BEEN AMAZINGLY IMPOSED UPON BY SOME FALSE WIZARDRY OF THE SENSES IT WAS ALL ABSURD AND FANTASTIC IT WOULD PASS AND THEN SOUNDING ACROSS THIS SEA OF MENTAL CONFUSION LIKE A BELL THROUGH THE FOG CAME THE VOICE OF JOHN SILENCE BRINGING ME BACK TO A CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE REALITY OF IT ALL SANGREE IN HIS DOUBLE
inted—yet they were his teeth, his teeth grown cruel; the expression was flaming, terrible, exultant—yet it was his expression carried to the border of savagery—his expression as I had already surprised it more than once, only dominant now, fully released from human constraint, with the mad yearning of a hungry and importunate soul. It was the soul of Sangree, the long suppressed, deeply loving Sangree, expressed in its single and intense desire—pure utterly and utterly wonderful. Yet, at the same time, came the feeling that it was all an illusion. I suddenly remembered the extraordinary changes the human face can undergo in circular insanity, when it changes from melancholia to elation; and I recalled the effect of hascheesh, which shows the human countenance in the form of the bird or animal to which in character it most approximates; and for a moment I attributed this mingling of Sangree's face with a wolf to some kind of similar delusion of the senses. I was mad, deluded, dreaming! ERE LONGER WHITER MORE POINTED YET THEY WERE HIS TEETH HIS TEETH GROWN CRUEL THE EXPRESSION WAS FLAMING TERRIBLE EXULTANT YET IT WAS HIS EXPRESSION CARRIED TO THE BORDER OF SAVAGERY HIS EXPRESSION AS I HAD ALREADY SURPRISED IT MORE THAN ONCE ONLY DOMINANT NOW FULLY RELEASED FROM HUMAN CONSTRAINT WITH THE MAD YEARNING OF A HUNGRY AND IMPORTUNATE SOUL IT WAS THE SOUL OF SANGREE THE LONG SUPPRESSED DEEPLY LOVING SANGREE EXPRESSED IN ITS SINGLE AND INTENSE DESIRE PURE UTTERLY AND UTTERLY WONDERFUL YET AT THE SAME TIME CAME THE FEELING THAT IT WAS ALL AN ILLUSION I SUDDENLY REMEMBERED THE EXTRAORDINARY CHANGES THE HUMAN FACE CAN UNDERGO IN CIRCULAR INSANITY WHEN IT CHANGES FROM MELANCHOLIA TO ELATION AND I RECALLED THE EFFECT OF HASHISH WHICH SHOWS THE HUMAN COUNTENANCE IN THE FORM OF THE BIRD OR ANIMAL TO WHICH IN CHARACTER IT MOST APPROXIMATES AND FOR A MOMENT I ATTRIBUTED THIS MINGLING OF SANGREE'S FACE WITH A WOLF TO SOME KIND OF SIMILAR DELUSION OF THE SENSES I WAS MAD DELUDED DREAMING
