But even in his sleep it seemed as if his awakened soul had set its seal upon his expression -- he had tasted of the knowledge of good and evil now . The lady crept near him and kissed his hair . Then she flung herself on her own couch , and soon she also slept . It was six o'clock before they awoke , Paul first -- and what was his joy to be able to kneel beside her and watch her for a few seconds before her white lids lifted themselves ! An attitude of utter weariness and _ abandon _ was hers . She was as a child tired out with passionate weeping , who had fallen to sleep as she had flung herself down . There was something even pathetic about that proud head laid low upon her clasped arms .
