It is we the bunglers who adore the occupation in the abstract. It is we to whom it is art for art's sake. Our play is called amateurish; and we wear proudly the name of amateur, for amateurs is but the French for Lovers. We accept all adventures from our Lady, the most disastrous or the most dreary.
Where the original artist set that impress of his genius on a face, which, almost in a line or touch, separated him from meaner painters and made him what he was, succeeding bunglers, filling up, or painting across seams and cracks, have been quite unable to imitate his hand; and putting in some scowls, or frowns, or wrinkles, of their own, have blotched and spoiled the work.
"'When the water ain't quite enough to turn the wheel, and only spatters, spatters, spatters, says Coldslaugh. "Sourcrout gig goggles again, as if he was swallerin' shelled corn whole. 'That trick of wettin' the hay, says he, 'to make it weigh heavy, warn't cleverly done; it ain't pretty to be caught; it's only bunglers do that.
And he regards himself as a second AEsculapius, and has written a book on medicine in verse, which Geta, Caesar's murdered brother, always had about him, for he regarded the physicians here as mere bunglers. He is as rich as the Alabarch, and riding in his coach is Galenus, for whom Caesar sent. What can that girl want of him?"
We meet with frigid imitations and bombastic generalities, where concise details and graphic touches would have been acceptable. In short, these works are rather studies of style in an age when the greatest stylists were but bunglers and beginners, than valuable histories.
They knew, probably, that their own countrymen would not fight with very much zeal for their foreign masters, and they despised, undoubtedly, the mixed crews, half skilled seamen, half tiros and bunglers, which had been brought against them.
But the English or German woman who lays aside her chastity God be gracious to these bunglers! casts off her modesty as downrightly as though she were glad that she need not carry it longer no! let us say as though the greater depth of her fall resulted also in a more absolute hopelessness of ever arising again.
I say they are bunglers. They never mean the thing. Fifteen!
"What would you have done, Joel Pepper?" "I'd a-pitched right into 'em like everything!" said Joel valiantly; "and a-caught 'em! Yes, every single one of the Bunglers!" "The what?" said Van, bursting into a loud laugh. "The Bunglers," said Joel with a red face. "That's what you said they were, anyway," he added positively.
Only a man capable of originating can understand, sustain, or use any institution. The Church, the State, the Social System come tumbling ruinous over the heads of bunglers, who cannot uphold, because they never could have built them, and the rubbish obstructs every path in life. An honest, vigorous thinker will clear away these ruins and begin anew at the earth.
