Shams and delusions are estimated for soundest truths, while reality is fabulous. If men would steadily ob- serve realities only, and not allow themselves to be deluded, life, to compare with such things as we know, would be like a fairy tale and the Arabian Nights’ entertainments. If we respected only what is inevitable and has a right to be, music and poetry would resound along the streets. When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality. This is always exhilarating and sublime.
By closing the eyes and slumbering, and consenting to be deceived by shows, men establish and confirm their daily life of routine and habit everywhere, which still is built on purely illusory foundations. Children, who play life, discern its true law and relations more clearly than men, who fail to live it worthily, but who thinks that they are wiser by experience, that is, by failure.
I have read in a Hindoo book, that "there was a king’s son, who, being expelled in infancy from his native city, was brought up by a forester, and growing up to maturity in that state, imagined himself to belong to the barbarous race with which he lived. One of his father’s ministers discovered him, revealed to him what he was, and the misconception of his character was removed, and he knew himself to be a prince. So soul," continued the Hindoo philosopher, "from the circumstance from which it is placed, mistakes its own character, until the truth is revealed to it by some holy teacher, and then it knows itself to be Brahme."
We think that that is which appears to be. If a man should give us an account of the realities he beheld, we should not recognize the place in his description. Look at the meeting house, or a court-house, or a jail, or a shop, or a dwelling-house, and say what that thing really is before a true gaze, and they would all go to pieces in our account of them. Men esteem truth remote, in the outskirts of the system, behind the furthest star, be- fore Adam and after the last man. In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here.
God himself culminate in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapse of all ages. And we are enabled to apprehend at all what is sublime and noble only by the perpetually instilling and drenching of the reality that surrounds us. The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let’s spend our lives in conceiving them. The poet or the artist never yet had so fair and noble a design some of his posterity at least could accomplish it. (495) [br] The author believes that a child ______.
