All the thoughts and feelings he had passed through fell into three separate trains of thought.

One was the renunciation of his old life, of his utterly useless education.

This renunciation gave him satisfaction, and was easy and simple.

The simplicity, the purity, the sanity of this life he felt clearly, and he was convinced he would find in it the content, the peace, and the dignity, of the lack of which he was so miserably conscious.
