"It's amazing, Florida," he would say, "it's perfectly amazing that you should have been willing to undertake the job of importing into America that poor fellow with his whole stock of helplessness, dreamery, and unpracticality. What were you about?" "Why, I've often told you, Henry. I thought he oughtn't to continue a priest." "Yes, yes; I know."
I dare say this was not quite a wholesome frame of mind for a boy of ten years; but I do not defend it; I only portray it. Being the boy he was, he was destined somehow to dwell half the time in a world of dreamery; and I have tried to express how, when he had once got enough of villainy, he reformed his ideals and rather liked virtue.

The consciousness of nations contains, it may be, unsuspected powers, suppressed in the past by narrow nationalism, by fear, habit and convention.

It is a state from which some of the bad, but far more of the good qualities of life and mind arise.
Half a dozen steps brought her around the farther angle, where, hidden in a growth of shrubbery, lay a little pool of fairy loveliness, "That's my outdoor laboratory." "A dreamery, I'd call it. May I sit down? Are there devilkins here? There's an elfkin, anyway," she added, as a silvered dragon- fly hovered above her head inquisitively before darting away on his own concerns.
It has been said by one: beware the left, the cult of Shakti. On its cooperative dial glow the twelve signs of the zodiac. Baum! Pyjaum! I am the light of the homestead!
