Kokoro, by Natsume Soseki (paragraph #166)

Kの復籍したのは一年生の時でした。それから二年生の中頃になる迄、約一年半の間、彼は獨力で己れを支へて行つたのです。所が此過度の勞力が次第に彼の健康と精神の上に影響して來たやうに見え出しました。それには無論養家を出る出ないの蒼蠅い問題も手傳つてゐたでせう。彼は段々感傷的になつて來たのです。時によると、自分丈が世の中の不幸を一人で脊負つて立つてゐるやうな事を云ひます。さうして夫を打ち消せばすぐ激するのです。それから自分の未來に横はる光明が、次第に彼の眼を遠退いて行くやうにも思つて、いら/\するのです。學問を遣り始めた時には、誰しも偉大な抱負を有つて、新らしい旅に上るのが常ですが、一年と立ち二年と過ぎ、もう卒業も間近になると、急に自分の足の運びの鈍いのに氣が付いて、過半は其所で失望するのが當り前になつてゐますから、Kの場合も同じなのですが、彼の焦慮り方は又普通に比べると遙かに甚しかつたのです。私はついに彼の氣分を落ち付けるのが專一だと考へました。

translation

"K was reinstated when he was in the first year." For about a year and a half, until the middle of his sophomore year, he supported himself on his own. Gradually, however, this excessive strain seemed to have an effect on his health and spirit. Of course, he must have also dealt with the embarrassing problem of not leaving his foster home. He was getting more and more sentimental. Sometimes I say things like I'm carrying the misfortunes of the world on my back. If she denies her husband in this way, she will immediately become angry. Then he felt irritated by the thought that the light that stretched across his future was gradually receding from his eyes. It is customary for everyone to have great aspirations when they begin their studies and embarking on a new journey, but when one year and two years pass, and graduation is drawing near, suddenly my legs start to fall apart. Realizing that things are going slow, the majority of people will soon be disappointed at that point. It was terrible. I finally decided that the only thing I could do was calm him down.
