If his temperament was not adapted to the harsh conditions of the elderAmerican world, it might very well be that his temperament was notaltogether in the wrong. If it disabled him for certain experiences oflife, it was the source of what was most delightful in his personality, and perhaps most beautiful in his talent. It enabled him to do suchthings as he did without being at all anguished for the things he did notdo, and indeed could not. His talent was not a facile gift; he ownedthat he ofte...n went day after day to his desk, and sat down before thatyellow post-office paper on which he liked to write his literature, inthat exquisitely refined script of his, without being able to inscribe aline. It may be owned for him that though he came to the East atthirty-four, which ought to have been the very prime of his powers, heseemed to have arrived after the age of observation was past for him.
