A feeling of sullen anger took possession of us. What is philosophy, we asked ourselves, if it prevents a man from being by himself or from enjoying the select company of a friend,  in sooth, if it prevents him from becoming a philosopher? For we regarded the celebration of our rite as a thoroughly philosophical performance. A FEELING OF SULLEN ANGER TOOK POSSESSION OF US WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY WE ASKED OURSELVES IF IT PREVENTS A MAN FROM BEING BY HIMSELF OR FROM ENJOYING THE SELECT COMPANY OF A FRIEND IN SOOTH IF IT PREVENTS HIM FROM BEING A PHILOSOPHER FOR WE REGARDED THE CELEBRATION OF OUR RITE AS A THOROUGHLY PHILOSOPHICAL PERFORMANCE
ooting-range, and we asked eagerly, "Where is this quiet spot? Surely not to the left here, in the wood?" "That is the very place." "But this evening that place belongs to us," my friend interposed. "We must have it," we cried together. Our long-projected celebration seemed at that moment more important than all the philosophies of the world, and we gave such vehement and animated utterance to our sentiments that in view of the incomprehensible nature of our claims we must have cut a somewhat ridiculous figure. At any rate, our philosophical interlopers regarded us with expressions of amused inquiry, as if they expected us to proffer some sort of apology. But we were silent, for we wished above all to keep our secret. Thus we stood facing one another in silence, while the sunset dyed the tree-tops a ruddy gold. The philosopher contemplated the sun, his companion contemplated him, and we turned our eyes towards our nook in the woods which to-day we seemed in such great danger of losing. N GREATER THAN THE LOSS OF OUR SHOOTING RANGE AND WE ASKED EAGERLY WHERE IS THIS QUIET SPOT SURELY NOT THE LEFT HERE IN THE WOOD THAT IS THE VERY PLACE BUT THIS EVENING THAT PLACE BELONGS TO US MY FRIEND INTERPOSED WE MUST HAVE IT WE CRIED TOGETHER OUR LONG PROJECTED CELEBRATION SEEMED AT THAT MOMENT MORE IMPORTANT THAN ALL THE PHILOSOPHIES OF THE WORLD AND WE GAVE SUCH VEHEMENT AND ANIMATED UTTERANCE TO OUR SENTIMENTS THAT IN VIEW OF THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE NATURE OF OUR CLAIMS WE MUST HAVE CUT A SOMEWHAT RIDICULOUS FIGURE AT ANY RATE OUR PHILOSOPHICAL INTERLOPERS REGARD US WITH EXPRESSIONS OF AMUSED INQUIRY AS IF THEY EXPECTED US TO PROFFER SOME SORT OF APOLOGY BUT WE WERE SILENT FOR WE WISHED ABOVE ALL TO KEEP OUR SECRET THUS WE STOOD FACING ONE ANOTHER IN SILENCE WHILE THE SUNSET DYED THE TREE TOPS ARE RUDDY GOLD THE PHILOSOPHER CONTEMPLATED THE SUN HIS COMPANION CONTEMPLATED HIM AND WE TURNED OUR EYES TOWARDS OUR NOOK IN THE WOODS WHICH TO DAY WE SEEMED IN SUCH GREAT DANGER OF LOSING
