The analyses of a text #1
The narrator recalls his adolescence.
He is now famous writer.
Traddles is his best frined and a lawyer.
Chapter 61 I AM SHOWN TWO INTERESTING PENITENTS
.................................
For a time - at all events until my book should be completed, which would be the work of several months - I took up my abode in my aunt's house at Dover; and there, sitting in the window from which I had looked out at the moon upon the sea, when that roof first gave me shelter, I quietly pursued my task.
In pursuance of my intention of referring to my own fictions only when their course should incidentally connect itself with the progress of my story, I do not enter on the aspirations, the delights, anxieties, and triumphs of my art. That I truly devoted myself to it with my strongest earnestness, and bestowed upon it every energy of my soul, I have already said. If the books I have written be of any worth, they will supply the rest. I shall otherwise have written to poor purpose, and the rest will be of interest to no one.
Occasionally, I went to London; to lose myself in the swarm of life there, or to consult with Traddles on some business point.
[David Copperfield by Charles Dickens]
1. I'd like to know what "refer to" means here.
2. I'd like to know what "should incidentally connect" means.
3. And I'd like to know what "to lose myself in the swarm of life" means.
Thank you in advance for your help.
