Kant really
wished to prove that, starting from the subject, the
subject could not be proved-nor the object either :
the possibility of an apparent existence of the subject,

sophy,

" Griswold, when he came to edit, had
thus, ready to his hand, a sufficient representation of
Poe's entire critical work; and he added, out of the
material which Poe had himself neglected, only a few

cluded in the " Marginalia.
The
pamphlet, of which the solution is given by Brewster,
and which Poe identifies with an article in a “ Balti-
more weekly paper,” possibly the “Saturday Visiter,” to
which Poe contributed, has not been found; but, doubt-

probable from Poe’s language that he did not himself
write it, although perhaps it           his attention to the

Should we desire to unite in one the two con-

From the time of Pisistratus

My ultimate conclusion is, that the real man
represents a much higher value than the “de-
sirable” man of any ideal that has ever existed
hitherto; that all “ desiderata" in regard to man-
kind have been absurd and dangerous dissipations
by means of which a particular kind of man has
sought to establish his measures of preservation
and of growth as a law for all; that every
" desideratum” of this kind which has been made
to dominate has           man's worth, his strength,
and his trust in the future; that the indigence
and mediocre intellectuality of man becomes most
apparent, even to-day, when he reveals a desire;
that man's ability to fix values has hitherto been
developed too inadequately to do justice to the
actual, not merely to the “desirable,” worth of
man; that, up to the present, ideals have really
been the power which has most slandered man
and the world, the poisonous fumes which have
hung over reality, and which have seduced men to
yearn for nonentity.

An artist cannot endure reality; he turns away
or back from it: his earnest           is that the
worth of a thing consists in that nebulous residue
of it which one derives from colour, form, sound,

tenuated, and volatile, a thing or a man becomes,
the more valuable he becomes: the less real, the
greater the worth.
