It is as natural a gift as reason, and has its part to play in the making of a true life. When it is lost, and a man be- comes a literalist, we appreciate what a gift it is. The literalist will solemnly argue about a joke, and ponderously explain a fancy. He swells the great army of the world's bores. We have all met the matter-of-fact man, like the one Douglas Jerrold tells of, who, if you talked to him of Jacob's ladder, would ask the number of the steps.

CULTURE OF IMAGINATION 159 realms. This power of putting ourselves in other circumstances gives us a magic touch, which is a real remedy for many an evil of our lot. Imagination also is helpful to all the other faculties. Even humour seems dependent on it ; for both the pathos and the humour of life are due to the discrepancy between the real and the ideal.
