“His mind had made a rapid stride; It / had been forced on itself, and he followed no / longer like a boy, but understood like a man … every page on which vivid intellect had stamped its image, no matter what the style or the theme transformed, with the rapidity and brightness of lightning, a new energy impulse and stimulus to his understanding.”
