We are inclined on the whole to be-
lieve that the stimulus to literary pro
duction exists within and not without
the man. II Is not external circum-
stances, poverty or riches, sickness or
health greatness or humbleneas that
determine the productions or output
Of genius. It is the characteristics OF
the man that determine not what he
shall learn or what he shall think, but
what he shall do. A stimulus from
without, such as poverty, may start
production, OF course. but that is mere
ly the physical awakening of a dispo-
sltion that 10 any circumstances would
have been awakened IN some way at
some time. True literature is the voice
OF the soul calling from the windows
of the house Of clay in response to
those things Of life that touch the na
tur. Of the soul that speaks.-- london
