Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather

The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready

All this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure

Claims of duty or the obligations of business

Same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain

Blame belongs to those who fail in their duty

Occasionally circumstances occur in which toil

Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane

Have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted

Righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled
