They would say of such children: "They are very poor; they act thus because they have no horses or carriages." An adult resigns himself to his lot; a child creates an illusion. But this is not a proof of imagination, it is a proof of an unsatisfied desire; it is not an activity bound up with gifts of nature; it is a manifestation of conscious, sensitive poverty.
This presents the approach of the Strong Man; little wings beside his head indicate the dawn of Intellect. Women turn to him attracted by his qualities. Of the men whom they have deserted, one resigns in sorrow; the other prepares to contend the the issue. In the next phase, here illustrated, "The Survival of the Fittest," the struggle has begun. The following pages resume the story.
Sulla Resigns the Regency Ordinarily he had himself observed those regulations, which he prescribed for the future.

"Nay, if it be young Durward," said Crèvecoeur; "there is nothing more to be said.
"Let us go farther with our suppositions," I said. "Suppose I decline?" I heard Madame de Ferrier gasp. The priest raised his eyebrows. "In that case you will be quite willing to give me a signed paper declaring your reasons." "I sign no paper." "Let me suggest that Monseigneur is not consistent. He neither resigns his supposed rights nor will he exercise them."
In reading the "Theages" of Plato we feel a certain respect for the young seeker of wisdom whose only wish is to associate with Socrates; and there is a certain admiration for the father, Demodocus, who joyfully resigns his son, if the teacher will admit him to his friendship and impart all that he can.
"Heaven shall aid you, my son," pursued his wily mother, "if you but trust the guidance of your kingdom to such hands as shall maintain it in the true religion. The paper that resigns your country to the hands of a regent, lies, I see, before you. Can you hesitate? Can you a moment doubt?
