Do they alter one hair's breadth for the better the characters of the ten thousand male and female noodles who travel forth to stare at them every year?

Mr. Burke suggested to me as applicable to Johnson, what Cicero, in his CATO MAJOR, says of Appius: 'Intentum enim animum tanquam arcum habebat, nec languescens succumbebat senectuti; repeating, at the same time, the following noble words in the same passage: 'Ita enim senectus honesta est, si se ipsa defendit, si jus suum retinet, si nemini emancipata est, si usque ad extremum vitae spiritum vindicet jus suum.
