Yet all this ends in the sorrowful consideration, that my acquirements are now useless, and that none of my pleasures can be again enjoyed. The rest, whose minds have n6 impression but of the present moment, are either corroded by malignant passions, or sit stupid in the gloom of perpetual vacancy." " What passions can infest those," said the prince, " who have no rivals ? We are in a place where impo- tence precludes malice, and where all envy is repress- ed by community of enjoyments." " Ther...e may be community," said Imlac, " of ma- terial possessions, but there can never be community of love or of esteem. It must happen that one will please more than another ; he that knows himself de- spised will always be envious, and still more envious and! malevolent if he is condemned to live in the pre- sence of those who despise him. The invitations, by which they allure others to a state which they feel to be wretched, proceed from the natural malignity of hopeless misery. They are weary of themselves, and of each other, and expect to find relief in new com- panions.
