He heard and saw all this with much interest and distinct comprehension; but when I had done, he shook his head and said: 'This is no experiment, this is an idea.
51. oldal - IF to know wisdom were to practise it ; if fame brought true dignity and peace of mind ; or happiness consisted in nourishing the intellect with its appropriate food, and surrounding the imagination with ideal beauty, a literary life would be the most enviable which the lot of this world affords.
