He had not comprehended at all before what wellsprings of spiritual beauty, what limpid depths of idealism, his nature contained. "We were speaking of our respective religions," he heard Celia say, as imperturbably as if there had been no digression worth mentioning. "Yes," he assented, and moved his head so that he looked up at her back hair, and the leaves high above, mottled against the sky.

A recent squabble about a couple of actresses has been the subject of greater fuss than would be caused by the discovery of the lost books of Livy, of a picture by Apelles, of the MS. of an unknown opera by Beethoven, of a method of making accumulators out of papier-maché, or a mode of manufacturing radium at a cost of twopence a pound. A digression about these marriages is permissible.
I think sometimes that the psychological secret of the profound difference of that people consists in this, that they detest life, the irremediable life of the earth as it is, whereas we westerners cherish it with perhaps an equal exaggeration of its sentimental value.
