"but literature is the record of the best thoughts. every attainment and discipline which increases a man's acquaintance with the invisible world lifts his being. everything that gives him a new perception of beauty multiplies his pure enjoyments. a river of thought is always running out of the invisible world into the minds of man. shall not they who receive the largest streams spread abroad the healing waters?"
