Please help with homework All Quiet On The Western Front: In your opinion, does Paul believe that he will ever enjoy the love

Alone in his room, Paul thinks about his former life, when he can find enjoyment in his studies. At one point, he says that:  I want to feel the same powerful, nameless urge that I used to feel when I turned to my books. The breath of desire that then arose from the coloured backs of the books, shall fill me again, melt the heavy, dead lump of lead that lies somewhere in me and waken again the impatience of the future, the quick joy in the world of thought, it shall bring back again the lost eagerness of my youth. I sit and wait. (171). In your opinion, does Paul believe that he will ever enjoy the love of learning that he once had? Why or why not? Please use passages from the text to support your opinion.
