Perhaps when this speed of an overstimulated age has subsided, we shall get back to the calm, reflective pleasures of the well-poised spirit. We shall tarry again over a long description, feeling no hurry to have done with it. The cultivated mind learns that it cannot afford to risk its literary appetite for the stimulation of the moment.
