How largest triumph or failure in human life, in war or peace, may depend on some little hidden centrality, hardly more than a drop of blood, a pulse-beat, or a breath of air! It is certain that all these weighty matters, democracy in America, Carlyleism, and the temperament for deepest political or literary exploration, turn on a simple point in speculative philosophy.
After all, and full of beauty and truth as that book is, and strongly as it takes hold of my sympathies, there is nothing new in it not even a new Carlyleism, which I do not say by way of blaming the book, because the author of it might use words like the apostle's: 'To write the same things unto you, to me indeed is not grievous, and to you it is safe. The world being blind and deaf and rather stupid, requires a reiteration of certain uncongenial truths....
"I'd prefer to call it a blessed queer one, because, with all its chaotic, weltering incongruities there's a Carlyleism for you I love it! I couldn't live without loving it and laughing at it, any more than Beauvayse could get on minus an affair of the heart. Ah, yes, that amatory lyre of his is an uncommonly adaptable instrument.
