It meant a widening of his horizon, association with clever men and women, ennobling friendships to broaden his life. A just measure of appreciation from the worthwhile sweetens toil and encourages genius. And yet our eyes met, and mine had to ask an old question. "Would you better accept it?" I wondered. "I can't afford not to," said he resolutely.
