“Brainstuff is not lean⟳ stuff;—the brainstuff of fiction is internal history, and to suppose⟳ it dull is the profoundest of errors; how deep, you will understand⟳ when I tell⟳ you that it is the very football of the holiday-afternoon imps below. They kick⟳ it for pastime; they are intelligences perverted. The comic of it, the adventurous, the tragic, they make⟳ devilish, to kindle their Ogygian hilarity.”
