I thank you. . . . Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits. " Again: "It is the mark of good action that it appears inevitable in the retrospect. We should have been cut-throats to do otherwise. And there's an end. We ought to know distinctly that we are damned for what we do wrong; but when we have done right, we have only been gentlemen, after all. There is nothing to make a work about. " The moral to _The House of Eld_ is incisive writ out of trueexpe...rience--phantasy there becomes solemn, if not, for the nonce, tragic:-- "Old is the tree and the fruit good, Very old and thick the wood. Woodman, is your courage stout? Beware! the root is wrapped about Your mother's heart, your father's bones; And, like the mandrake, comes with groans. " The phantastic moralist is supreme, jauntily serious, facetiouslyearnest, most gravely funny in the whole series of _Moral Emblems_.
