As a refrain to every argument there seemed to go jeering and sneering through my brain Schiller's famous line: "Against stupidity the gods themselves fight in vain." "Mit der Dummheit kampfen Gotter selbst vergebens." Jungfrau von Orleans, Act III, scene 6. There seemed no possibility even of SUSPENDING the judgment of the great majority who saw the statue.
The prestige of good is stupendous. We are all hypnotized by it; and the reason we are slow in realizing the ideal is, not that we are evil, but that we are stupid. London: George Allen and Unwin, 1916. "Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens" no one had a better right to say that than a German poet.
Then turning to the Chamberlain: "We have some very excellent schools here, have we not, Monsieur Kampfen?" "Quite true, your Majesty." "I congratulate you. Can I beg you to persevere in the work to which your special aptitude calls you?" It was all Juve could do to keep from bursting into laughter.
The Queen's chamberlain, Monsieur Erick von Kampfen, after carefully examining Juve's credentials, led the detective into a drawing-room in which were already gathered a number of persons. An officer, in a wonderful uniform, came forward and introduced him to several of his companions. "Princesse de Krauss, duc de Rutisheimer, colonel ..." Juve was not surprised at this.
"Ah, indeed, you are right," the Princess sighed, "there must be something about these Parisian women. ... I heard that the dressmakers of the Rue de la Paix are going to bring out some Spring models which are so indecent ..." M. Erick von Kampfen, the chamberlain, entered the room at this moment and announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, kindly pass into the gallery.
We had a negro village here a few years ago ... hadn't we, M. von Kampfen?" "Quite true, your Majesty," replied the Chamberlain, bowing deeply. The Queen turned again to Juve: "I congratulate you, Monsieur, and I beg you to persevere in the work to which your special aptitude calls you." The interview was at an end, and Juve was left wondering whether he should leave the room.
