It Is the thing that gives to the "amusements" of the imagination that touch of burning fire; that breath of wider air; that taste of sharper salt, which, arriving when we least expect it, and least-heaven knows deserve 1t, makes any final opinion upon the stuff of this world vain and false; and any condemnation of the opinions of others foolish and empty.
