The opening sentence of this famous essay will be well remem- bered : " The healthy know not of their health, but only the sick." This is repeated in every possible form, with reference to every sphere of life : " The beginning of inquiry is disease ; " " life itself is a disease, a working incited by suffering ; " "the truly strong mind is unacquainted with its strength;" " genius is ever a secret to itself ; " " of the wrong we are always conscious, of the right never;" Digitized by VjOOQIC 8...8 THE PHILOSOPHY OF CARLYLE, "ages of heroism are not ages of moral philoso- phy ; " " the disease of metaphysics." " The trouble with our own age," sa3rs Carlyle in this essay, "can best be summed up by saying that it is a self-con- scious age. The fact that intellect now turns round at every stride and cries. See you what a stride I have taken ! is the proof that the march of intel- lect is " of the spavined kind, what the jockeys call * all action and no go.* " As opposed to this, Car- lyle glorifies a sincere past, the " ages of faith.** " Intellect did not awaken for the first time yester- day," he says, " but has been under way from Noah's flood downwards ; greatly her best progress, moreover, was in the old times when she said noth- ing about it.
