Question

My help had been needed and claimed; I had given it: I was pleased to have done something; trivial, transitory though the deed was, it was yet an active thing, and I was weary of an existence all passive.

Accepted Answer

Örültem, hogy valakinek szolgálatot tehettem. Bármily futó, jelentéktelen apróság volt is, mégis tettem valamit, hisz torkig vagyok ezzel a passzív, tétlen élettel.
