The orator secures but a poor success
who makes people exclaim, "What a-fne
speech!" but he is entirely successful
who persuades them to his thinking.
That is what Fenelon meant in his
Dialogues of the Dead' when he repre-
sents D~emosthenes as saying to Cicero,
Thou madest people say, How well he
speaksp but | made them say, Let us
march against Phillip" That an orator
will create no impression who does
not seem to feel his words is a certainty.
