We are altogether wrong, we are divided into rich and poor, blest and unblest, because men copy in- stead of learning to create each according to his genius.

But let all men become creative, and the work of each will become indispensable to all and rewarded by all ; for a pure and original fire will be in it, as little t...o be imitated as the fire in the ruby's heart, or the dif- THE SONG OF LIFE 32 ferent glory of the stars.

In the one case we try to buttress our strength from the ebbing sensual world ; in the other, we draw into ourselves the strength of the everlasting.
