Every thought whispered "Edith," his pulse beat "Edith," and his heart repeated the beloved name. It was his pulse-beat, his heartbeat, his life-beat. And one morning as he stood absently looking at his fingers against the light and they seemed strangely wan and transparent the thought at last took shape. It rushed upon him with such vehemence, that he could no more resist it.
This grinning, unscrupulous fiend of a hospital interne had blithely taken what he desired and blithely discarded what he did not desire. The twelve good men and true bethought them of their wives whom they did not desire and yet kept. And of the young women and the things of flesh and spirit they desired with every life-beat in them and yet did not take.
How can he quicken his dull paint with the life-beat of palpitating flesh, or the sculptor animate the rigid marble with the vibrations of vivid motion? But where nature is infinite in her range she is also scattering in her effects. By the concentration of divergent forces, art gains in intensity and directness of impression what it sacrifices in the scope of its material.
