Could we read Balzac at a single sitting the best of us would forever re- nounce life. How grotesque are our days! How aimless our actions! How petty our passions! The "Comedie Humaine" is a picture of a huge animal chasing its tail. Louis Lambert mistook the cataleptic trance for the Kingdom of Heaven! Pere Goriot gave up all for love and died of starvation! Old Grandet desired gold and wallowed in it; his daughter Eugenie de- sired love and died a paUid virgin. And yet Lowell says, "God may b...e had for the 86 THE COMIC VIEW asking 1" Balzac knew better: It is the gods who may be had for the asking. Man darts out of negation and begins to scratch the ground like a chicken out of the egg. With what care he builds the house of lifel With what seriousness and pride he goes about his daily tasks! He begins each day at exactly the same place he began the day before. But being serious, he lacks omniscience. He builds as though it were for eternity, as though Death — the joker in the stacked pack — did not lie in wait for him.
