Meditations and Reflections (Concluded from page 942) To each intellect belongs a special power. We belong to ourselves, and we lose control of our own when we try to be some one else. The original mind is a magnetic center for the at- traction of other minds. But the lode- stone loses nothing by attraction; it remains the same. The thing we call Progress has its thythmic movements like music. A frivolous age corresponds to the tempo of the dance, a sentimental age to that of the adagio appassionato, a heroic age to the tempo of the march. Bad books are talked about when they are sensational, good books when original. In Nature the influence of mystery is manifest in its eternal suggestions of the possible and the probable. Wise men change their opinions by a process of mental evolution; fools and fanatics change theirs by fits and starts, to suit the caprices of fashion and the follies of the epoch. There is a certain narrowness of mind which is commonly allied to sen- timentalism. This is why devotees are so often malicious. Francis Grierson in London New Age.
