Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays
Proved to be so by man's finding in it his true happiness. But it is undeni able, also, that men may have the sense of exercising this free creative activity in other ways than in producing great works of literature or art; if it were not so, all but a very few men would be shut out from the true happiness of all men. They may have it in well doing, they may have it in learning, they may have it even in criticising. This is one thing to be kept in mind. Another is, that the exercise of the creative power in the production of great works of literature or art, how ever high this exercise of it may rank, is not at all epochs and under all con ditions possible; and that therefore labour may be vainly spent in attempt ing it, which might with more fruit be used in preparing for it, in rendering it possible. This creative power works with elements, with materials; what if it has not those materials, those ele ments, ready for its use In that case.
