“Oh!
and I Speak Out Of Later Knowledge
Heaven Forefend Me From The Most Of The Average Run Of Male Humans Who Are Not Good Fellows, The Ones Cold Of Heart And Cold Of Head Who Don't Smoke, Drink, Or Swear, Or Do Much Of Anything Else That Is Brase, And Resentful, And Stinging, Because In Their Feeble Fibres There Has Never Been The Stir And Prod Of Life To Well Over Its Boundaries And Be Devilish And Daring. One Doesn't Meet These In Saloons, Nor Rallying To Lost Causes, Nor Flaming On The Adventure-paths, Nor Loving As God's Own Mad Lovers. They Are Too Busy Keeping Their Feet Dry, Conserving Their Heart-beats, And Making Unlovely Life-successes Of Their Spirit-mediocrity.”
