Excerpt from Some Personal Reminiscences of CarlyleHealth, or rather the want of it, had very much to do with Carlyle's variable moods. He had suffered greatly from dyspepsia, ever since 1818, and had, almost nightly, and often in vain, to fight for sleep. Thus circumstanced, his finely-strung nerves could not but be often on edge, and this, at such times, might give him an air of brus quem'e, under which appearance, how ever, his heart was ever tender and true. When out of sorts, through continuous want of sleep, or, when deeply absorbed in his great works, if needlessly in truded on, or interrupted, he, not with out reason, would show that he was disturbed, and was then apt to be mis understood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
