Excerpt from Fancies Versus Fads There is indeed nothing very extraordinary about these visions, except the extraordinary people who have provoked some of them. They are only a very sketchy sort of sketches of some of the strange things that may be found in the modern world. But however inadequate be the example, it is none the less true that this is the sound principle behind much better examples and that, in those great things as in these small ones, sanity was the condition of satire. It is because Gulliver is a man of moderate stature that he can stray into the land of the giants and the land of the pygmies. It is Swift and not the professors of Laputa who sees the real romance of getting sunbeams out of cucumbers. It would be less than exact to call Swift a sunbeam in the house but if he did not himself get much sunshine out of cucumbers, at least he let daylight into professors. It was not the mad Swift but the sane Swift who made that story so wild. The truth is more self evident in men who were more sane. It is the good sense of Rabelais that makes him seem to grin like a gargoyle and it is in a sense because Dickens was a Philistine that he saw the land so full of strange gods. These idle journalistic jottings have nothing in common with such standards of real literature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The whole history of the thing called rhyme can be found between those two things: the simple pleasure of rhyming "diddle" to "fiddle," and the more sophisticated pleasure of rhyming "diddle" to "idyll." Now the fatal mistake about poetry, and more than half of the fatal mistake about humanity, consists in forgetting that we should have the first kind of pleasure as well as the second. It might be said that we should have the first pleasure as the basis of the second; or yet more truly, the first pleasure inside the second. The fatal metaphor of progress, which means leaving things behind us, has utterly obscured the real idea of growth, which means leaving things inside us.

A unique edition: beautifully formatted, with optimized, large fonts; the complete, unabridged, original 1923 version; annotated, with additional content including information about the book and the Author. This is one of Chesterton's best collections of essays. Among the fads that the Author goes after are Feminism, Free Verse, Prohibition, and Vegetarianism. "I have strung these things together on a slight enough thread; but as the things themselves are slight, it is possible that the thread (and the metaphor) may manage to hang together. These notes (...) concern all sorts of things from lady barristers to cave-men, and from psycho-analysis to free verse. Yet they have this amount of unity in their wandering, that they all imply that it is only a more traditional spirit that is truly able to wander." Our edition is a joy to hold in your hand.

THIS morning, for a long stretch of hours before breakfast, and even as it were merging intobreakfast, and almost overlapping breakfast, I was engaged in scientific researches in the great newdepartment of psycho-analysis. Every journalist knows by this time that psycho-analysis largelydepends on the study of dreams. But in order to study our dreams it is necessary to dream; and inorder to dream it is necessary to sleep. So, while others threw away the golden hours in lighter andless learned occupations, while ignorant and superstitious peasants were already digging in theirignorant and superstitious kitchen-gardens, to produce their ignorant and superstitious beans andpotatoes, while priests were performing their pious mummeries and poets composing lyrics onlistening to the skylark-I myself was pioneering hundreds of years ahead of this benighted century;ruthlessly and progressively probing into all the various horrible nightmares, from which a happierfuture will take its oracles and its commandments. I will not describe my dreams in detail; I am notquite so ruthless a psychologist as all that. And indeed it strikes me as possible that the newpsychologist will be rather a bore at breakfast. My dream was something about wandering in somesort of catacombs under the Albert Hall, and it involved eating jumbles (a brown flexible cake nowalmost gone from us, like so many glories of England) and also arguing with a Theosophist. I cannotfit this in very well with Freud and his theory of suppressed impulses. For I swear I never in my lifesuppressed the impulse to eat a jumble or to argue with a Theosophist. And as for wandering aboutin the Albert Hall, nobody could ever have had an impulse to do that.
