of the defect in this method of

conclusions and has had to
suffer its consequences, often succumbs to the temptation to come to the
very opposite conclusions (which, in general, are, of course, equally
erroneous): a thing cannot maintain itself: therefore it is good; a
belief is troublesome, therefore it is true.

That as the creative state of the eye increased, a sympathy seemed to
arise between the waking and the dreaming states of the brain in one
point--that whatsoever I happened to call up and to trace by a voluntary
act upon the darkness was very apt to transfer itself to my dreams, so
that I feared to exercise this faculty; for, as Midas turned all things
to gold that yet baffled his hopes and defrauded his human desires, so
whatsoever things capable of being visually represented I did but think
of in the darkness, immediately shaped themselves into phantoms of the
eye; and by a process apparently no less inevitable, when thus once
traced in faint and visionary colours, like
writings
in sympathetic ink,
they were drawn out by the fierce chemistry of my dreams into
insufferable splendour that fretted my heart.

It is natural for a young fellow to like the
acquaintance
of the
females, and customary for him to keep them company when occasion
serves: some one of them is more agreeable to him than the rest; there
is something, he knows not what, pleases him, he knows not how, in her
company.

The political, social and economic views which have emanated from this foundation have been based on several "truths" which are presently disappearing--for example, the view that man as an individual is the center of the universe and everything exists in order to fulfill his basic

‘No I suppose not ’
‘Well, then' You’d better go upstairs and start packing your box It’s no
good your staying any longer, because I haven’t got anything m for your
dinner ’
Dorothy went upstairs and sat down on the side of the bed She was
trembling uncontrollably, and it was some minutes before she could collect her
wits and begin packing She felt dazed The disaster that had fallen upon her
was so sudden, so apparently causeless, that she had difficulty in believing that
it had actually happened But m truth the reason why Mrs Creevy had sacked
her was quite simple and adequate
Not far from Rmgwood House there was a poor, moribund little school
called The Gables, with only seven pupils The teacher was an incompetent
old hack called Miss Allcock, who had been at thirty-eight different schools m
her life and was not fit to have charge of a tame canary But Miss Allcock had
one outstanding talent, she was very good at double-crossing her employers
In these third-rate and fourth-rate private schools a sort of piracy is
constantly
gomg on Parents are ‘got round’ and pupils stolen from one school to another
Very often the treachery of the teacher is at the bottom of it.
