Little Classics: Stories of Tragedy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Little Classics: Stories of Tragedy

H mental features discoursed of as the analyti 'f cal are, in themselves, but little susceptible of 5 analysis. We appreciate them only in their effects. We know of them, among other things, that they are always to their possessor, when inordinately possessed, a source of the liveliest enjoyment. As the strong man exults in his physical ability, delighting in such exercises as call his muscles into action, so glories the analyst in moral activity Which disentangles. He derives pleasure from even the most trivial occupations bringing his tal ent into play. He is fond of enigmas, of conundrums, of hieroglyphics exhibiting in his solutions of each a degree of acumen Which appears to the ordinary appre hension preternatural. His results, brought about by the very soul and essence of method, have, in truth, the whole air of intuition.
