1IE true normal man is not the man o f letter« or of learn­
ing, but the man WHO WORKS A N D EAT8.
But our nature, it is customary to say, revolts against
a conception which tends to lower the moat sublime mani­
festation of humanity to the level of the sorrowfully de­
generate, to idiocy and insanity. It is aad, I do not deny, but baa not
natur^ caused to grow from similar germs and from the same clod of
earth the nottle and a jasmine, the aconite and the rose I The botanist
cannot be blamed for these coincidences, and, since they exist, it ia
not a ariine that he should record them A 8 HE F IN D S THEM.
Repugnance also is a sentiment, moreover, which has not been shared
by the race generally, who long ago reached conclusions— repugnant
to the academic world, which sometimes doses its eyes in order not to
boo ■ e ntirely in harmony with the results here presented.
We may
see thia in the most ancient etymologies. In Hebrew as well as in
Sanskrit THE LUNATIC IS SYNONYM OUS W ITH THE
PROPHET. The lunatic, again, among barbarous people, is feared
and adored by masses, who often confide to him supreme authority.
In modem times the same conviction has been preserved, but in a
form, it must be confessed, altogether disadvantageous to genius. Not
only is fame (but until recent years even liberty) denied to men of
genius during their lives, but even the means of subelatenoe. AFTER
D E A T H they receive monuments and rhetoric by way of compensa­
tion. And why is thia I Neither the jealousy of rivals nor the envy
of mediocre men is enough to explain i t The reason is that if we
leave out certain great statesmen (though there are exceptions— Bis­
marck, for example) men of genius are lacking in tact, in moderation,
in the sense of practical life, in the virtues which are alone recognised
as real BY THE MASSES and which alone are useful in social
affaire. As Mirabeau said, “Good sense la the abeenoe of every strong
passion, and only men of strong passions can be great”
O dd P lig h t o f a D eer.
who do not know that that destroys every great truth, because we
reach truth more by remote paths than by smooth and ordinary
roads, it has been objected, “Many of these defects that you find in
great men may be found also in those who are
men of genius.”
This is true, but it is BY THE QUALITY A N D QU A N TITY
that the abnormal character ia marked, and, above all, by the con­
tradiction with the whole of the other characters of their personality
that the abnormality appears. Cooks are vain, but in those matters
which refer to their occupation they are not so vain as to believe them­
selves gods. The nobleman will boast of descent from a mediaeval
hero, but not of being, a sculptor. We are all forgetful sometimes,
but not so far forgetful that we cannot recall our own names, while
at the same time we have an extraordinary memory for our own dis­
coveries. Many have said what Michael Angelo said of monks, but
they hive not afterward spent large sums in fattening monasteries.
In short, it is the DOUBLING A N D CONTRADICTION OF
PERSONALITY in genius which reveal the abnormality.
It has again been objected to me that my studies of genius are de­
ficient in utility. To this I might reply with Taine that it is not al­
ways necessary that the true should be useful.
“Strnuge accidents will sometime«
happen to deer,’’ writes a Scotch hoot­
er. “A hind in Caithness came to aoi
crofter's hut near the forest and w
poking about to see if there was any­
thing she could pick up when she found
an old tlu pall lying lu some out of the
way corner. In went her nose and

Then somehow the whole pall slipped
down her neck, add there she was,
caught. She was seen several times
with her Btrange necklace, which pre­
vented her from drinking or feeding
properly. The clatter when she got
under way was tremendous, and the
other deer were frightened for miles.

know it quite well, and you might search far before you oould find a
man anxious to change bis sex. He knows that if be oould change his
sex he would lose some of his freedom, and to such a loss he could with
difficulty reconcile himself. But I do not think the great majority of
women wish to change their sex in order to gain man’s freedom. Of
one thing, however, I feel pretty sure, and that is that woman likes tho
first fiddle to be a Joachim— none of your pretty-pretty, sugary, scent-
bottly performers, but some one leonine, firm, with a powerful ‘^tone,”
a virile “attack,” one who oan draw a sound like an organ from the
"O string,” and whose “double stopping” excites almost like a trum­
pet call.
I f all men were Joachims probably we should never have heard of

the aeoond Addle pjayers would never have tried to go on strike.
