Excerpt from His Hour Fool, said the Sphinx. What is your soul? And if you 'have one, what have you done with it hitherto? Are you any light in the world P N 0, you have lived upon the orders of others, you have let your individuality be crushed these twenty four years - since the day you could speak. Just an echo it is - that fine thing, your soul! Show it then, if you have one! Do you possess an opin ion? Not a bit of it. You simply announce plati tudes that you have been taught were the right answers to all questions! Believe me, you have no soul. So take what you can-a body! You certainly have that, one can see it - well, snatch what it can bring you, since you have not enough will to try for higher things. Grasp what you may, poor weakling. That is the wisdom sitting here for eternity has taught me. Tamara stirred her hands in protest - but she knew the indictment was true. Yes, her life had been one long commonplace vista of following leads - like a sheep. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
