A temporary solution had been found to the worst problem afflicting their community—a human one, inevitably; now, as though that had been fogging the foreground of his mind, a hundred other problems sprang sharply into focus. As the assembly melted away into the darkness, he sat slumped In a chair and stared unseeing toward infinity.

Now he craved for rest, and... his busy mind would not concede it.
