They lived not in vain. We can converse with these bodiless fames without reserve or personality.” “The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness, in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn’t got so much care in him, so he cares much more for life and living.” |
