A President who has not a kind of plain, still, homely poetry in him, a belief about people that sings, in the present appalling crisis of the world is impracticable or visionary. So we do not say, "Have we a President that can get our Bells, Edisons, McAdoos, Achesons to be good by toeing a line?"
Tell me a fairy-story," she commanded with almost childish eagerness. "Or have you Americans foresworn fairies for Edisons?" "I know one who has not," he answered, falling soothingly into her mood. "He has seen the Queen, Titania." "Well, tell me about her. Oh, I do hope that she was beautiful," and she dimpled bewitchingly. "She was fairy queens are always beautiful, and sometimes kind.
But I think seeing that barn burning down made me feel worse than the whipping, though I felt I deserved that, too. "The Edisons moved to Port Huron, Michigan, and lived a little way out of the town on the St. Clair river, where it flows out of Lake Huron. The house was in an orchard, but within easy walking distance of the town.
But all Hindu youths are not chelas, remember nor are all Western youths "captains of industry," or Edisons. I am using my Attention to develop my mental faculties, so as to give the "I" a perfect instrument with which to work. The mind is My instrument and I am bringing it to a state of capacity for perfect work. There is but One Life One Life Underlying.
But it is hardly fair to compare these famous interpreters with the average "tired business man." They are the Cecil Rhodes, the Thomas Edisons, the Maurice Maeterlincks of their fields. It is easy enough to find musicians of smaller life opportunities basking in their ignorance and conceit.
Let us, then, repeat the question which we asked just now. Where has this addition to the income of labour come from? That part of it is attributable to ability the ability of the Watts, the Stephensons, the Arkwrights, the Bessemers, the Edisons, and so forth nobody in his senses will deny. Can it be said that any of it is attributable to labour?
The present-moment commander-in-chief warring, industrial, or political may sit, thanks to the Morses and the Edisons, comfortably in office-coat and slippers, far removed from the battle turmoil, directing his forces with the pressure of a finger upon the appropriate electric button, or in a few words dictated to the human ear of a clicking telegraph-instrument.
I am as indifferent to the facts or fancies of spiritualism as I am, for instance, to the latest mechanical application of electricity. Edisons and Marconis may thrill the world with astounding novelties; they astound me, as every one else, but straightway I forget my astonishment, and am in every respect the man I was before.
Does it begin to dawn upon President Winston that there is another very important factor in the world's progress, viz., the Newtons, Bacons, Koperniks, Watts, Edisons, Shakespeares, Burkes, Keplers, Platos, Jeffersons and others who, by patient research or the outpourings of super-gifted minds have furnished forth the pedagogue's stock-in-trade?
"Fate wills it, and there are home revels to which we are bid, and the crush of the season after, where we shall only see our wings glisten by Edisons or the now doomed gas-shine, for fog reigns supreme in the day-time, and poor old Sol is hid from us." "London belles would shine by their own beauty even in Egyptian darkness."
