three o'clock
The hysterical tears of last night had brought her four hours of sleep , but there was no chance of any repetition of them . It would be useless to go upstairs . She sang through the greater part of `` Lohengrin , '' and then took up the `` Meistersinger , '' and read it till it fell from her hands . ... It was three o'clock ; and feeling very tired , she thought that she might be able to sleep . But all night long she saw her life from end to end . Her miserable passage through this life , the weakness of her character and the vileness of her sins were shown to her in a hideous magnification . She was exhibited to herself like an insect in a crystal , and she perceived the remotest antennae of her being .
