The new day dawned for me like a solemn feast, the kind I had not experienced since childhood. l was full of a. great restlessness, yet without fear of any kind. I felt that an important day had begun for me and I saw and experienced the changed world around me, expectant, meaningful, and solemng even the gentle autumn rain had its beauty and a calm and festive air full of happy, sacred music. For the first time the outer world was perfectly attuned to the world withing it was a joy to be alive. No house, no shop window, no face disturbed me, ev- erything was as' it should be, without any of the flat, humdrum look of the everydayg everything was a part of Nature, expectant and ready to face its destiny with reverence. That was how the world had appeared to me in the mornings when I was a small boy, on the great feast days, at Christmas or Easter. I had forgotten that the world could still be so lovely. I had grown accustomed to living within myself. I was resigned to the knowledge that I had lost all appreciation of the outside world, that the loss of its bright colors was an inseparable part of the loss of my childhood, and that, in a certain sense, one had to pay for freedom and maturity of the soul with the renunciation of this cherished aura. But now, overjoyed. I saw that all this had only been buried or clouded over and that it was still possible even if you had become liberated and had renounced your childhood 'happiness-to see the world shine and to savor the delicious thrill of the chiId's vision. From Demian by Herman Hesse
