Exemple du texte :
THERE is but little thought among the world of men. The great stream rushes on, in murmuring rivulets here, in roaring torrents there, or like the ocean billows breaking upon the barren shore in deafening thunders, devoid of thought. The thunders, the roaring, the murmuring of men, Is not of thought, but of money. In every age of the world the genuine thiuker has stood alone, like a solitary tree in the vast desert. His thought hath seemed to shroud him from other men, as with the pall of sges. There is another class, however, who are called thinkers, and are lauded to the skies as geniuses, who stand in a different relationship to the mass of men. These are poets and philosophers, who fashion »ud mould thought for their own time. Such cull the flowers of existence, and, having arrayed them in garbs angelically lovely, In their view, present them for the acceptance and adoration of the non-thinkers. But the real thinker exhumes the primitive rocks of man's existence, and basic nature, and lays bare the native granite of his nature, wonderful and kaleidoscopic, which he exposes to the softening influences of storm and sunshine. It matters not to him, if the excavation be deep, or the rocks be rough and ill-shapen; it is his mission to bring them to the surface. He is not unlike the insect which, in the bottom of old ocean, rears its domes of rocks, whose only -music is the roar of the rushing waves and the dashing of spray agatnst his edifice; for he hath builded a temple of unhewn rocks, of INFINITE THOUGHT, wherein he dwells alone; and which, like the cities of pearl in the deeps of the sea, shall yet be the foundations of a new continent of thought; shall yet be engrafted in the temples wherein the teeming myriads of remote ages shall worship. His thought hath not been of his own seeking. It comes upon him, as comes the hurricane upon the landscape, or over the calm breast of the slumber- Ing sea. It sometimes lays him low and desolate, in the filth and debris of isolation, misapprehension, misery, and decay; and at other times it carries him upon the lightning's wing, beyond the topmost clouds of th« thinker's world.
