The genius that produces sur- prising results, even be they still imperfect, astonishes and causes admiration. It is a torrent whose source is rapid, unequal, and at times a wild and terrible beauty. Talent is more dura- ble ; the more it is used the less it is consumed.

auxiliary to genius, to whose works it assures durability and perfection.
Alas ! for we must say it, genius is rarely known and apj)reciated by its c...ontemporaries.
Homer, it is said, recited his verses from door to door, to earn his bread ; Camoens died in a hos- pital ; Tasso was steeped in misfortune and hu- miliations ; Milton saw himself reduced to the greatest misery in his old age ; Columbus, load- ed with chains, was confined in an odious prison for four years, after having discovered a new world. How many times it happens that a man of genius dies before coming to the knowledge that he had immortalized himself ! As a matter of fact, it is not genius that makes a fortune for a man or even secures happiness for him.
