...perhaps darkening the corners of the mind, that interest will wax and wane. After that we know well what great thing will come. It will be Christmas, and the holly and misletoe, and the joyous annual exchange of gifts. No human interest like Christmas! Once it did not exist at all in New England! It was necessary to create it. It was created, and it filled the bill. It came in response to a demand of the human heart.

...stimulated the study of that planet, and has greatly advanced scientific knowledge of it. Even now the question of the nature and cause of these markings, may be regarded as in abeyance. Lowell had not proved his case. Scientists tell us that the Schiaperelli and Lowell "canals" on Mars exist in these astronomer's own psychology, or rather in their own eyes.

The true death would be to live in a conquered country--for me above all others, as then my art could not exist." The notion that a man of genius is too precious to fight is, to some minds, attractive and convincing. But it is specious. It has its origin in the school of pessimism--the Schopenhauerian pessimism which fears contact with the realities of life. It springs from that same suicidal philosophy which...
