October 21, 1909
To be great, to be lonely, to be unguessed at -perhaps that is not such an enviable lot; perhaps the lot of the ordinary man who takes things as they are, who faces life as it is, who accepts surface values undisturbed by the soul or oversoul -perhaps it is he who gets the best of it, the best satisfactions, the happiness and well-being that this earth is calculated to yield. It may yield other things along with some bitterness to the seer. Yet while here don't throw your clubs too high, if you want to bring down chestnuts. Hereafter we shall have plenty of time to play at charades, visions and dreams.
