" In his teaching he would summon us to beauty of living rather than to Tightness of living. This was 224 ESSAYS not because he underrated the moralities, but because he wanted to take some things for granted. W...hat he taught was a strong, self-reliant life that can afford to be self-forgetful because it is so absorbed in the contemplation of the beauty of the highest ideal.
