But I do not like the outlook, and I wonder how long our crazy modern society can stand up between its own feebleness and its diseases. Perhaps you will some day know, but I guess I m out of it. Pleasant letters from Brooks and Daisy housekeeping in Paris. LETTERS TO A NIECE XIII 1603 H Street 28 Jany. 1897 YOUR letter, my dear fellow, and your study for the "Dance" have arrived and brought joy, as your fellowship always does ; but I say to you, as I say to Helen when she brings me a sonnet : W...hat am I that I should criticise, and where was I when the founda tions of your art were laid ? Who am I that should bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or teach the horse to say Ha ! Ha ! I can no more do the things you do for fun, than I could tell the peacocks how their goodly wings should be made, or instruct the ostrich how to bring up her young ; a duty which the Lord seems to have thought incumbent on men of a certain age and position in the world. (Job xxxix, 13-18. ) So I leave to the Pro fessor on duty the task of repeating the usual commonplaces which have worn many gen erations threadbare, and which were the out come of a society already beginning to rot.
