  • It never occurred to him to be spiritually won over to the enemy. Many moderns, inured to a weak worship of intellect and force, might have wavered in their allegiance under this oppression of a great personality. . . .

And by crowding things together they lost the sense of surprise; and surprise is the secret of joy.
