He was a man who had dreamed of all that is noble and great for man to do, who had consecrated his every hour and minute to the attainment of his end; and though his aim was in itself a good one, the undivided concentration which the pursuit of it required had driven him into a state outwardly resembling extreme egotism.
For the first time in his life Paul saw with different eyes just the beauty of things and forgot to gauge their sporting possibilities.

Joseph said to them: Suppose ye that God may not give me grace to interpret it?
