Days with the Great Composers by May Clarissa Gillington Byron.

Section one: A Day with Beethoven.

At daybreak on a summer morning in the year eighteen-fifteen, a short, thick-set, sturdily built man entered his sitting room and at once set to work to compose music.

Incessant majesties of sound piled themselves in splendid strata upon his intellectual ear, until, blinded with excess of light and out-wearied with the exuberance of a joy beyond all that earth could yield, Ludwig van Beethoven sought his meager straw mattress and thin quilt, and, while the clocks struck ten in the city, fell asleep as softly as a child.
