This is the speech in which Bulwer dissuades the footman from joining the world of letters: " 'Yellow- plush, ' says he, seizing my hand, 'you are right. Quit not your present occupation ; black boots, clean knives, wear plush all your life, but don't turn literary man. Look at me. I am the first novelist in Europe. I have ranged with eagle wing over the wide regions of litera- ture, and perched on every eminence in turn. I have gazed with eagle eyes on the Sun of Philosophy, and fathomed the m...ysterious depths of the human mind. All languages are familiar to me, all thoughts are known to me, all men understood by me. I have gathered wis- dom from the honeyed lips of Plato, as we wandered in the gardens of the Academes, wisdom, too, from the mouth of Job Johnson, as we smoked our "baccy" in Seven Dials. Such must be the studies, and such is the mission in this world, of the poet-philosopher. But the Knowledge is only emptiness; the initiation is but misery; the initiated a man shunned and banned by his fellows.
