I am amateurish if you like : I do not think that all the universe is straining towards the obscure signifi- cance of your pictures." " But it is, my dear ! — so far as it is straining through me, Adolf Naumann : that stands firm," said the good-natured painter, putting a hand on Ladislaw's shoulder, and not in the least disturbed by the unaccountable touch of ill-humour in his tone. " See now ! My existence pre-supposes the 344 MIDDLEMARCH. existence of the whole universe— does it notl and my ...function is to paint — and as a painter I have a conception which is altogether genialisch, of your great-aunt or second grandmother as a sub- ject for a picture ; therefore, the universe is strain- ing towards that picture through that particular hook or claw which it puts forth in the shape of me — not true ? " " But how if another claw in the shape of me is straining to thwart it? — the case is a little less simple then."
