So many ages of living had gone to make this individual who was himself that he felt his responsibility as manifold. A queer humble conception in this l fook Ioruer age of sharp individualism and wanâ€" ton use or misuse of life. This conception had so strong a hold upon this man that he lived for a long vista of time â€" lived for the limitless future and the long past. ‘The difference in point of view creatâ€" edbytheeoneepthnm.deol him quite a different creature from ourâ€" selves, in different to the things which those who live for the ordinary span of years call success and hppincn‘ and fame. As his wife says, his life was one "of achievement which is most distinguished in its defeats. He didnotpnmlorsuce-s.hedidm wait for it. He was on his way." And this sense of detachment, this aloofness from the things of the world gave to his life a spiritual quality, and to us who read of its a sense of humility as when we look up and catth a gleaming glimpse of a shootâ€" ing star which started we know not where and is going we know not where, but is "on its way."
