a phase of my life was closing tonight, a new one opening tomorrow: impossible to slumber in the interval; i must watch feverishly while the change was being accomplished [107]...it is a very strage sensation to inexperienced youth to feel itself quite alone in the world, cut adrift from every connection, uncertain whether the port to which it is bound can be reached, and prevented by many impediments from returning to that it has quitted. The charm of adventure sweetens the sensation, the glow of pride warms it...[112].
i think charlotte bronte puts it quite nicely. 10:07 tonight is my closing and opening hour, when it all changes for good.
