1 I awoke, and my yesternight's thoughts were as a dream.
2 It was morning when I awoke, and my first care was to visit the fire.
3 The winter advanced, and an entire revolution of the seasons had taken place since I awoke into life.
4 It was dark when I awoke; I felt cold also, and half frightened, as it were, instinctively, finding myself so desolate.
5 I awoke exhausted, and finding that it was already night, I crept forth from my hiding-place, and went in search of food.
6 I do not know how long I remained in this situation, but when I awoke I found that the sun had already mounted considerably.
7 Sometimes, indeed, I dreamt that I wandered in flowery meadows and pleasant vales with the friends of my youth, but I awoke and found myself in a dungeon.
8 It was noon when I awoke, and allured by the warmth of the sun, which shone brightly on the white ground, I determined to recommence my travels; and, depositing the remains of the peasant's breakfast in a wallet I found, I proceeded across the fields for several hours, until at sunset I arrived at a village.
9 The sleep into which I now sank refreshed me; and when I awoke, I again felt as if I belonged to a race of human beings like myself, and I began to reflect upon what had passed with greater composure; yet still the words of the fiend rang in my ears like a death-knell; they appeared like a dream, yet distinct and oppressive as a reality.
