Edward Carpenter in hand , I would dabble bare foot in ' the dew , which can be extremely cold before breakfast , steeling myself valorously against the stubble to which the fair soles of the fortunate Maud Allan were , it seemed , so mer cifully impervious . If She Came Again And if she came again , would she again exercise the old spell of 1908 ? And if she failed , what of it ? Is it not ungrateful to turn , even in memory , from any artist who has exercised a practical and beatific influence living lives ? ? " My old friends , Hart and Mohun , " wrote Steele of two of the great actors of his day , “ the one by his natural and proper force , the other by his great skill and art , never failed to send me home full of such ideas as affected by my behaviour , and made me insen : sibly more courteous and humane to inv fri and acquaintances .

When we plume ourselves at the age of forty ; on the knowledge that was not ours at the age of twenty , we should acknowledge that at the age of twenty we possessed much knowledge that is ours no longer . Secrets of the joy and beauty of life that once were mine have passed out of my ken for ever . Circumstances no longer demand that I should know them , and I have therefore , most sensibly , let them go . But the old enthusiasms that may now evoke in me only a little lemonish smile are not to be despised . Youth scoffs at age , age looks askance at youth .
