  2. capitulate
    surrender under agreed conditions
    He had capitulated, that was agreed.
  3. cyst
    a small anatomically normal sac or bladderlike structure
    And all the while he must keep his hatred
    locked up inside him like a ball of matter which was part of himself and yet
    unconnected with the rest of him, a kind of cyst.
  4. torpid

    Even when he was awake he was completely
    torpid.

    succumbing to it.
  6. taut
    pulled or drawn tight

    not an illusion that his muscles were growing rounder and his skin tauter.

    He began to grow actually proud of his body, and to
    cherish an intermittent belief that his face also was growing back to normal.
  9. reverie
    an abstracted state of absorption
    One day — but ’one day’ was not the right expression; just as probably it
    was in the middle of the night: once — he fell into a strange, blissful reverie.
  10. delirium
    a usually brief state of excitement and mental confusion
    He was not any longer in the narrow
    white corridors in the Ministry of Love, he was in the enormous sunlit passage,

    by drugs.
