You do not realize them. You only realize one unmistakable and insistent fact that you are half dead for want of food, and that nearly all the rest of the world is but newly risen from breakfast, and will later lunch, and dine, and sup, while, unless some good miracle may happen, you must starve, and starve, and starve.
