X wrote about this event in his diary:
".....I was sitting writing in my textbook, but the work did not progress; my thoughts were elsewhere. I turned my chair to the fire and dozed. Again the atoms were gamboling before my eyes. This time the smaller groups kept modestly in the background. My mental eye, rendered more acute by the repeated visions of the kind, could not distinguish larger structures of manifold combination; long rows sometimes more closely fitted together all twining and twisting in snake-like motion. But look! What was that? One of the ______ had seized hold of its own tail, and the form whirled mockingly before my eyes. As if by a flash of lightning I awoke, and this time also i spent the rest of the night in working out the consequences of the hypothesis."
