But personally, we prefer to go around in a circle than around in a parallelepipedon, for it seems cleaner and perhaps freer from mathematics or for the same reason we prefer Whittier to Baudelaire a poet to a genius, or a healthy to a rotten apple probably not so much because it is more nutritious, but because we like its taste better; we like the beautiful and don't like the ugly; therefore, what we like is beautiful, and what we don't like is ugly and hence we are glad the beautiful is not ugly, for if it were we would like something we don't like.
Is this not absurd, when the same child can come home from school and talk glibly of a parallelepipedon, a rhombus, rhomboid, polyhedral angle, archipelago, law of primogeniture, the binomial theorem, and of a dicotyledon! He also learns French, German, Latin, Greek, and the argot of the public school! The theological leader of to-day cannot be a creed-monger: he must be a creed-maker.
