As I was devouring the child with last kisses, it brisked up and jabbered out its vocabulary! the first time in more than two weeks, and it made fools of us for joy. The darling mispronunciations of childhood! dear me, there's no music that can touch it; and how one grieves when it wastes away and dissolves into correctness, knowing it will never visit his bereaved ear again.
I love the place although I know how it hates all men like me the so-called self-taught how it scorns our laboured acquisitions, when it should be the first to respect them; how it sneers at our false quantities and mispronunciations, when it should say, I see you want help, my poor friend! ... Nevertheless, it is the centre of the universe to me, because of my early dream: and nothing can alter it.
Usually I took the part of that distinguished general Xenophen and please note the quantity of the o. I have all my classical names like that, Socrates rhymes with Bates for me, and except when the bleak eye of some scholar warns me of his standards of judgment, I use those dear old mispronunciations still.
