It is for another class our sympathy should be kept; for those who cannot refrain from doubting of themselves and the value of their work those unfortunate gifted and artistic spirits who descend too often the via dolorosa of discontent and despair, who have a higher ideal than their neighbors, and, in struggling after an unattainable perfection, fall by the wayside.
