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.

Excerpt from Fancies Fashions and Fads Millionaires were not allowed to ride rough-shod over others by reason of their wealth; indeed, many of them were merely tolerated, like Louis Quatorze - a nickname conferred upon a certain rich alien, whose Christian name was Louis, because he was never asked to dinner except when an extra guest was required to prevent the party being thirteen. To-day, at least among that ridiculous section known as the Smart Set, millionaires of no matter what race are indisputably lords paramount by right of superabundant cash. The days indeed have gone when any attempt at arrogance on the part of men or women of Semitic extraction was sternly and promptly repressed.

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.

THE poet in the comic opera, it will be remembered (I hope), claimed for hisæsthetic authority that "Hey diddle diddle will rank as an idyll, if I pronounce itchaste." In face of a satire which still survives the fashion it satirized, it may requiresome moral courage seriously to pronounce it chaste, or to suggest that thenursery rhyme in question has really some of the qualities of an idyll. Of its chastity, in the vulgar sense, there need be little dispute, despite the scandal of theelopement of the dish with the spoon, which would seem as free from grossness asthe loves of the triangles. And though the incident of the cow may have somethingof the moonstruck ecstasy of Endymion, that also has a silvery coldness about itworthy of the wilder aspects of Diana. The truth more seriously tenable is that thisnursery rhyme is a complete and compact model of the nursery short story. Thecow jumping over the moon fulfils to perfection the two essentials of such a storyfor children. It makes an effect that is fantastic out of objects that are familiar; andit makes a picture that is at once incredible and unmistakable. But it is yet moretenable, and here more to the point, that this nursery rhyme is emphatically arhyme. Both the lilt and the jingle are just right for their purpose, and are worthwhole libraries of elaborate literary verse for children. And the best proof of itsvitality is that the satirist himself has unconsciously echoed the jingle even inmaking the joke. The metre of that nineteenth-century satire is the metre of thenursery rhyme. "Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle" and "Hey diddle diddlewill rank as an idyll" are obviously both dancing to the same ancient tune; and thatby no means the tune the old cow died of, but the more exhilarating air to whichshe jumped over the moon.

Excerpt from Good-Bye, Proud World Women read it and want to know what other women think about the new books and fashions, about every new fad and kink even what other women say and think about politics. He was not a. Man who did anything in haste. Nevertheless when Milicent returned next day to find out the fate of her papers, these two rooms had been cleared out and the chief himself led her into them and told her to sit down and write six articles on different subjects. He gave her a week to do it in, and she had a. Good reference library, with multitudes of periodicals and newspapers to help her at a pinch. If asked to define her sensations when all through those first days she sat locked up in this prison house, Milicent would have confessed to a horrible feeling of littleness, of being a swimmer in deep waters with no land in sight and the overarching heavens too far off to heed her. How she dreaded the moment when the master's eye should fall upon what she had written! The very sound Of that step in the passage had checked her pulses and frozen her feet and fingers! Well, Mr. Grainger had kept her on, but, as he always declared, it was he who had taught her all she knew about writing. Very pretty, but it is n't journalism, he had said, pulling up every flower of her fancy. Some people, he would add with a sort of indignation, some people can't learn, but I fancy you can.
