midnight
Nature , always fascinating , was then to him doubly attractive , doubly alluring . To the night he went for sympathy . To the night he went for inspiration . It was during his midnight wanderings that he seemed to get nearer the fundamental root of things . It was to the night he turned for consolation in times of need . It was then that he exorcised the demon of unrest that entered into him periodically . All his life the charm of the night had called to him and all his life he had responded obediently .
