hilosopher? And do you not fear that solitude will wreak its vengeance upon you? Just try living the life of a hermit of culture. One must be blessed with overflowing wealth in order to live for the good of all on one's own resources! Extraordinary youngsters! They felt it incumbent upon them to imitate what is precisely most difficult and most high,--what is possible only to the master, when they, above all, should know how difficult and dangerous this is, and how many excellent gifts may be ruined by attempting it!" "I will conceal nothing from you, sir," the companion replied. "I have heard too much from your lips at odd times and have been too long in your company to be able to surrender myself entirely to our present system of education and instruction. I am too painfully conscious of the disastrous errors and abuses to which you used to call my attention--though I very well know that I am not strong enough to hope for any success were I to struggle ever so valiantly against them. O BE ABLE TO LIVE LIKE A PHILOSOPHER AND DO YOU NOT FEAR THAT SOLITUDE WILL WREAK ITS VENGEANCE UPON YOU JUST TRY LIVING THE LIFE OF A HERMIT OF CULTURE ONE MUST BE BLESSED WITH OVERFLOWING WEALTH IN ORDER TO LIVE FOR THE GOOD OF ALL ON ONE'S OWN RESOURCES EXTRAORDINARY YOUNGSTERS THEY FELT IT INCUMBENT ON THEM TO IMITATE WHAT IS PRECISELY MOST DIFFICULT OF MOST HIGH WHAT IS POSSIBLE ONLY TO THE MASTER WHEN THEY ABOVE ALL SHOULD KNOW HOW DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS THIS IS AND HOW MANY EXCELLENT GIFTS MAY BE RUINED BY ATTEMPTING IT I WILL CONCEAL NOTHING FROM YOU SIR THE COMPANION REPLIED I HAVE HEARD TOO MUCH FROM YOUR LIPS AT ODD TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOO LONG IN YOUR COMPANY TO BE ABLE TO SURRENDER MYSELF ENTIRELY TO OUR PRESENT SYSTEM OF EDUCATION AND INSTRUCTION I AM TOO PAINFULLY CONSCIOUS OF THE DISASTROUS ERROR AND ABUSES TO WHICH YOU USED TO CALL MY ATTENTION THOUGH I VERY WELL KNOW THAT I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOPE FOR ANY SUCCESS WERE I TO STRUGGLE EVER SO VALIANTLY AGAINST THEM
