"Watersprings" by Arthur Christopher Benson is about Howard Kennedy, a Cambridge lecturer, who's caught between his academic life and a longing for something more. The story kicks off at Beaufort College, where Howard mentors students like the lighthearted Jack Sandys. Their interactions hint at a budding closeness that awakens Howard's dormant emotions. While Howard's all about books and ideas, Jack lives in the moment, creating a contrast that makes Howard wonder if he's really living or just watching from the sidelines. As Howard connects with his pupils, he begins to question his role in society and within himself, setting off a journey of self-discovery filled with emotional awakenings.
