Excerpt from Suspended Judgments, Essays on Books and Sensations We all create, or have created for us by the fatality of our temperament, a unique and indi vidual universe. It is only by bringing into light the most secret and subtle elements of this self contained system of things that we can find out where our lonely orbits touch. Like all primordial aspects of life the situation is double-edged and contradictory. The further we emphasise and drag forth, out of their reluctant twilight, the lurking attractions and antipathies of our destiny, the nearer, at once, and the more Obscure, we find ourselves growing, to those about us. And the wisdom of the difficult game we are called upon to play, lies in just this very antinomy, - in just this very contradiction - that to make ourselves better understood we have to emphasise our differences, and to touch the universe of our friend we have to travel away from him, on a curve of free sky.
