indeed, the whole book seemed TO hin TO

more fortunate than the books fantastic

any cause to know-that somewhat grotes-

surfaces, and still water, which came up
on the young Partisan so early in his life,
and was occasioned by the heavy decay Of a
beauty that had once, apparently, been 80

OF the desert and giving To the hermit the
beasts of the field as his companions.
Yes, there was to be, as Lord Henry had
~prophesied, a new hedonism that was to re-
create life, and to save it from that harsh,
uncomely p%uritanism that is having in our
w day, its curious revival. Ii was to have
its service of the intellect, certainly; yet 1t
was never to accept any theory or system
that would involve the sacrifice of any mode
of passionate experience. It's aim, indeed,
was to be experienced itself, and not the
fruits of experience, sweet or bitter as they
might be. OF the ascetism that deadens the
senses. as of the vulgar profigacy that dulls
| them, /: was 70 know nothing. But it was
to teach man TO concentrate himself upon
the moments Of a life that is itself but q
moment.
There are few of us who have not some
times awakened before dawn, either after

almost enamored of death, or one of those
nights of horror and misshapen Joy, when
through the chambers Of the brain sweep
phantoms more terrible than reality itself.
and instinct with that vivid life hat turks
In all grotesques, and that lends to Gothic
art its enduring vitality, this art being, one
might fancy, especially the art Of those
whose minds nave been troubled with the
malady Of reverie. Gradually white fingers
creep through the curtains, and they appear
to tremble. Black fantastic shadows crawl
into the corners Of the room, and crouch
there. Outside, there is the stirring Of
birds among the leaves. or the sound Of mcu
going forth to their work. or the sigh aud
sob Of the wind coming down from the hills,
INT wandering round the silent house, as
though it feared to wake the slcepers. Veil
after veil Of thin dusky gauze is lifted. and
by degrees the forms and colors of things
are restored to them, and we watch the
dawn remaking the world in its antique
pattern. The wan mirrors get back their
mimi life. The fiameless tapeys stand
where we have left them, and beside them
lies the half-rcad book hat we have been
studying, or the wierd flower that we had
worn at the ball, or the letter that we had
been afraid to read. or that we had read too
often. Nothing seems 10 Us changed. Out
Of tho unreal shadows Of the night comes

there steals over US q terrible sense of the
necessity for the continuance OF energy in

pleasure In the darkness, a world In which

This means that they will probably not
