THE MEDITATIONS OF RIQUET
91
VIII
I am in the centre of all things; men, beasts and things, friendly and adverse, are ranged about me.
IX
In sleep one beholdeth men, dogs, horses, trees, forms pleasant and unpleasant. When one awaketh these forms have vanished.
X
Reflection. I love my master, Bergeret, because he is powerful and terrible.
XI
An action for which one has been beaten is a bad action. An action for which one has received caresses or food is a good action.
XII
At nightfall evil powers prowl round the house. I bark in order that my master may be warned and drive them away.
