One
morning
,
after
a
severer
strain
than
usual
,
he
awoke
with
a
strange
sensation
in
his
eyes
.
The
sun
was
shining
directly
upon
the
window
-
blind
,
and
at
his
first
glance
thitherward
a
sharp
pain
obliged
him
to
close
his
eyelids
quickly
.
At
every
new
attempt
to
look
about
him
the
same
morbid
sensibility
to
light
was
manifested
,
and
excoriating
tears
ran
down
his
cheeks
.
He
was
obliged
to
tie
a
bandage
over
his
brow
while
dressing
;
and
during
the
day
it
could
not
be
abandoned
.
Eustacia
was
thoroughly
alarmed
.
On
finding
that
the
case
was
no
better
the
next
morning
they
decided
to
send
to
Anglebury
for
a
surgeon
.
Towards
evening
he
arrived
,
and
pronounced
the
disease
to
be
acute
inflammation
induced
by
Clym
’
s
night
studies
,
continued
in
spite
of
a
cold
previously
caught
,
which
had
weakened
his
eyes
for
the
time
.
Fretting
with
impatience
at
this
interruption
to
a
task
he
was
so
anxious
to
hasten
,
Clym
was
transformed
into
an
invalid
.
He
was
shut
up
in
a
room
from
which
all
light
was
excluded
,
and
his
condition
would
have
been
one
of
absolute
misery
had
not
Eustacia
read
to
him
by
the
glimmer
of
a
shaded
lamp
.
He
hoped
that
the
worst
would
soon
be
over
;
but
at
the
surgeon
’
s
third
visit
he
learnt
to
his
dismay
that
although
he
might
venture
out
of
doors
with
shaded
eyes
in
the
course
of
a
month
,
all
thought
of
pursuing
his
work
,
or
of
reading
print
of
any
description
,
would
have
to
be
given
up
for
a
long
time
to
come
.
One
week
and
another
week
wore
on
,
and
nothing
seemed
to
lighten
the
gloom
of
the
young
couple
.
Dreadful
imaginings
occurred
to
Eustacia
,
but
she
carefully
refrained
from
uttering
them
to
her
husband
.
Suppose
he
should
become
blind
,
or
,
at
all
events
,
never
recover
sufficient
strength
of
sight
to
engage
in
an
occupation
which
would
be
congenial
to
her
feelings
,
and
conduce
to
her
removal
from
this
lonely
dwelling
among
the
hills
?
That
dream
of
beautiful
Paris
was
not
likely
to
cohere
into
substance
in
the
presence
of
this
misfortune
.
As
day
after
day
passed
by
,
and
he
got
no
better
,
her
mind
ran
more
and
more
in
this
mournful
groove
,
and
she
would
go
away
from
him
into
the
garden
and
weep
despairing
tears
.
Yeobright
thought
he
would
send
for
his
mother
;
and
then
he
thought
he
would
not
.
Knowledge
of
his
state
could
only
make
her
the
more
unhappy
;
and
the
seclusion
of
their
life
was
such
that
she
would
hardly
be
likely
to
learn
the
news
except
through
a
special
messenger
.
Endeavouring
to
take
the
trouble
as
philosophically
as
possible
,
he
waited
on
till
the
third
week
had
arrived
,
when
he
went
into
the
open
air
for
the
first
time
since
the
attack
.
The
surgeon
visited
him
again
at
this
stage
,
and
Clym
urged
him
to
express
a
distinct
opinion
.
The
young
man
learnt
with
added
surprise
that
the
date
at
which
he
might
expect
to
resume
his
labours
was
as
uncertain
as
ever
,
his
eyes
being
in
that
peculiar
state
which
,
though
affording
him
sight
enough
for
walking
about
,
would
not
admit
of
their
being
strained
upon
any
definite
object
without
incurring
the
risk
of
reproducing
ophthalmia
in
its
acute
form
.
Clym
was
very
grave
at
the
intelligence
,
but
not
despairing
.
A
quiet
firmness
,
and
even
cheerfulness
,
took
possession
of
him
.
He
was
not
to
be
blind
;
that
was
enough
.
To
be
doomed
to
behold
the
world
through
smoked
glass
for
an
indefinite
period
was
bad
enough
,
and
fatal
to
any
kind
of
advance
;
but
Yeobright
was
an
absolute
stoic
in
the
face
of
mishaps
which
only
affected
his
social
standing
;
and
,
apart
from
Eustacia
,
the
humblest
walk
of
life
would
satisfy
him
if
it
could
be
made
to
work
in
with
some
form
of
his
culture
scheme
.
To
keep
a
cottage
night
-
school
was
one
such
form
;
and
his
affliction
did
not
master
his
spirit
as
it
might
otherwise
have
done
.
He
walked
through
the
warm
sun
westward
into
those
tracts
of
Egdon
with
which
he
was
best
acquainted
,
being
those
lying
nearer
to
his
old
home
.
He
saw
before
him
in
one
of
the
valleys
the
gleaming
of
whetted
iron
,
and
advancing
,
dimly
perceived
that
the
shine
came
from
the
tool
of
a
man
who
was
cutting
furze
.
The
worker
recognized
Clym
,
and
Yeobright
learnt
from
the
voice
that
the
speaker
was
Humphrey
.
Humphrey
expressed
his
sorrow
at
Clym
’
s
condition
,
and
added
,
“
Now
,
if
yours
was
low
-
class
work
like
mine
,
you
could
go
on
with
it
just
the
same
.
”
