Even devotion itself should have its bounds, or it will launch into bigotry and enthusiasm; love, the most generous and gentle of all the passions, when ill-placed, or unprescribed, degenerates into the very worst; justice may be pursued till it becomes cruelty; emulation indulged till it grows up to envy; frugality to the most sordid avarice; and courage to a brutal rashness; and so I am ready to allow that curiosity, from whence all the good in us originally arises, may also be productive of the greatest mischiefs, when not, like every other emotion of the soul, kept within its due limits, and suffered to exert itself only on warrantable objects.
If no one whom you ever heard of had attended a 'summer school' or teachers' institute, would it have occurred to any one of you to break out independently and do a thing so unprescribed by fashion? Probably not. Nor would your pupils come to you unless the children of their parents' neighbors were all simultaneously being sent to school.
Here assuredly there is no composure. Never before did superiority bear itself with so little of its proper, signal, and peculiar grace reluctance. If Mr. Liberal verse, dramatic, narrative, meditative, can surely be bound by no time measures if for no other reason, for this: that to prescribe pauses is also to forbid any pauses unprescribed.
