We live subject to arrest by degrees of fatigue which we have come only from habit to obey.
Most of us may learn to push the barrier farther off, and to live in perfect comfort on much higher levels of power.
The fatigue gets worse up to a certain critical point, when gradually or suddenly it passes away, and we are fresher than before.
We have evidently tapped a level of new energy, masked until then by the fatigue-obstacle usually obeyed.
