You having (in one huge instance) failed, andDamien succeeded, I marvel it should not have occurred to you that youwere doomed to silence; that when you had been outstripped in that highrivalry, and sat inglorious in the midst of your well-being, in yourpleasant room--and Damien, crowned with glories and horrors, toiled androtted in that pigsty of his under the cliffs of Kalawao--you, the electwho would not, were the last man on earth to collect and propagate gossipon the volunteer who would an...d did.
I think I see you--for I try to see you in the flesh as I write thesesentences--I think I see you leap at the word pigsty, a hyperbolicalexpression at the best. "He had no hand in the reforms, " he was "acoarse, dirty man"; these were your own words; and you may think itpossible that I am come to support you with fresh evidence. In a sense, it is even so. Damien has been too much depicted with a conventionalhalo and conventional features; so drawn by men who perhaps had not theeye to remark or the pen to express the individual; or who perhaps wereonly blinded and silenced by generous admiration, such as I partly envyfor myself--such as you, if your soul were enlightened, would envy onyour bended knees.
