Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Haunted Mind (From 'Twice Told Tales')" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a short story first published in 1835. It explores the liminal space between sleep and waking, where a person awakens in the middle of the night. In this vulnerable state, the mind conjures spectral figures representing personal sorrows, regrets, and disappointments. The narrative follows an introspective journey through darkness and despair toward moments of natural beauty, before descending back into sleep's mysterious embrace.
