| Quotation | Sunday night I got two hours' sleep and Monday I was staggering around in a fog. With trembling hands I took down Dom Vital Lehodey's immortal volume on abandonment, Le Saint Abandon. Also I read the chapter in the Spiritual Directory, or, at least, began the chapter on infirmities. I am too attached to my sleep. |
