Annotated text:
After I might just as easily have been a literary
bloke, like Jeremy Taylor or Eugene Sue. I told
myself that all art was one. There might be
superficial differences in their work, but they
had, in the words of the old song, gone the
same way home. When was it? Why, to-day, if I
mistook not. I felt I must take a grip of my
failing, in so far, that was, as it distorted the
time factor. But in that case I knew I was right.
To think of time---of all that retrospection, to
think of to-day, and the ages continued
henceforward. Have you guessed you yourself
would not continue? Have you dreaded these
earth beetles? But it occurred to me that to
think of time with my delight would have got
him guessing. I woke to the consciousness that I
had done very little in my life. Not Dolittle but
Didlittle. What was a did little? Didling,
perhaps, or didlet. It was at the former that I
woke to consciousness that morning.
