Christmas Eve, Midnight
Will tonight ever come ? Do I feel anything , does anything exist all round me ? I sit and seem to see that street at Posen , the wide street with the windows illuminated by the Christmas lights , the green fir-branches grazing the window-panes . _ Christmas Eve , Midnight . -- _ I have done it . I slipped out noiselessly . Sor Asdrubale and his sisters were fast asleep .
