“So was I speaking and weeping in the most bitter contrition [state of repenting or making up for bad deeds] of my heart, when lo! I heard from a neighboring house a voice, as of boy or girl, I know not, chanting and oft [often] repeating, ‘Take up [take an interest] and read; Take up and read.’ Instantly, my countenance [physical state, attitude] altered [changed], I began to think most intently [with great focus], whether children were wont [likely] in any kind of play to sing such words; nor could I remember ever to have heard the like. So checking the torrent [steady flow] of my tears, I arose; interpreting [determining] it to be no other than a command from God, to open the book, and read the first chapter I should find. . . . Instantly at the end of [the first] sentence, by a light as it were of serenity [peace] infused [filled] into my heart, all the darkness of doubt vanished away.” —Augustine, The Confessions of St. Augustine According to the excerpt, how was Augustine feeling at the beginning of the passage?
