Genius and Childishnes3.

# A great philosopher once said that
every true genius remained, in a Ger.
tain sense, child his whole life long.
If such is the case, then relying upon
believable accounts, De Quincy must
have ever displayed this mark OF. men.
tai distinction. In the practical af.
fairs Of daily life, he is said to have
been unusually helpless. On one &C.
casion, it is related, he starved while
carrying in his pocket draft for a
considerable sum, not knowing that
it could be converted into cash. Early
in life his wife died, leaving him with
a family Of children, whom he was
unable to care for properly. Toward
the close of his career, however, when
he had practically broken his terrible
habit, and his works were circulated
widely, he seems to have enjoyed
more prosperity. He died in 1859.
