And if it be only in connection with these exalted beings that true culture may be spoken of, how are institutions to be founded for the uncertain existence of such natures, how can we devise educational establishments which shall be of benefit only to these select few? AND IF IT BE ONLY IN CONNECTION WITH THESE EXALTED BEINGS THAT TRUE CULTURE MAY BE SPOKEN OF HOW ARE INSTITUTIONS TO BE FOUNDED FOR THE UNCERTAIN EXISTENCE OF SUCH NATURES HOW CAN WE DEVISE EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS WHICH SHALL BE OF BENEFIT ONLY TO THESE SELECT FEW
r the peaceful light of hundreds of stars, we all broke out into a tirade which ran somewhat as follows:-- "You have told us so much about the genius," we began, "about his lonely and wearisome journey through the world, as if nature never exhibited anything but the most diametrical contraries: in one place the stupid, dull masses, acting by instinct, and then, on a far higher and more remote plane, the great contemplating few, destined for the production of immortal works. But now you call these the apexes of the intellectual pyramid: it would, however, seem that between the broad, heavily burdened foundation up to the highest of the free and unencumbered peaks there must be countless intermediate degrees, and that here we must apply the saying _natura non facit saltus_. Where then are we to look for the beginning of what you call culture; where is the line of demarcation to be drawn between the spheres which are ruled from below upwards and those which are ruled from above downwards? GE AND THEN IN THE STILL NIGHT UNDER THE PEACEFUL LIGHT OF HUNDREDS OF STARS WE ALL BROKE OUT INTO A TIRADE WHICH RAN SOMEWHAT AS FOLLOWS YOU HAVE TOLD US SO MUCH ABOUT THE GENIUS WE BEGAN ABOUT HIS LONELY AND WEARISOME JOURNEY THROUGH THE WORLD AS IF NATURE NEVER EXHIBITED ANYTHING BUT THE MOST DIOMETRICAL CONTRARIES IN ONE PLACE THE STUPID DULL MASSES ACTING BY INSTINCT AND THEN ON A FAR HIGHER AND MORE REMOTE PLANE THE GREAT CONTEMPLATING FEUD DESTINED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF IMMORTAL WORKS BUT NOW YOU CALL THESE APEXES OF THE INTELLECTUAL PYRAMID IT WOULD HOWEVER SEEM THAT BEYOND THE BROAD HEAVILY BURDENED FOUNDATION UP TO THE HIGHEST OF THE FREE AND UNENCUMBERED PEAKS THERE MUST BE COUNTLESS INTERMEDIATE DEGREES AND THAT HERE WE MUST APPLY THE SAYING NATURA NON FASIT SALTAS WHERE THEN ARE WE TO LOOK FOR THE BEGINNING OF WHAT YOULL CULTURE WHERE IS THE LINE OF DEMARCATION TO BE DRAWN BETWEEN THE SPHERES WHICH ARE RULED FROM BELOW UPWARDS AND THOSE WHICH ARE RULED FROM ABOVE DOWNWARDS
