He was a materialist as well as a spiritualist, and his music admits of the aforesaid creature comforts as much as the exalted and subtle philosophies and ironies of life." "Poor Omar!" said Walden, "The pretty piteousness of him is like the wailing of a lamb led to the slaughter.
In the midst of these ironies of fate, this satyr-play of the nether forces with the master, in which he occupies at times so undignified a position, it is gratifying to note that the artist-life goes on apace. In the last quartets which now come up for consideration, the labors of the tone-poet are brought to a close. The quartet was a favorite musical form with the master.

He asked me what the number of our pew was, and I hadn't the heart or else I hadn't the face to tell him he mustn't sit in it. How could I? Do you think it's so very scandalous?" "I don't know," said Sewell. "It may lead to great abuses. If we tacitly confess ourselves equal in the sight of God, how much better are we than the Roman Catholics?"
