nd fly in none.”
“But surely that is a happiness to have so many tastes — to enjoy so many beautiful things, when they are within your reach,” said Maggie, musingly. “It always seemed to me a sort of clever stupidity only to have one sort of talent — almost like a carrier-pigeon.”
“It might be a happiness to have many tastes if I were like other men,” said Philip, bitterly. “I might get some power and distinction by mere Mariano Andujar Jersey mediocrity, as they do; at least I should get those middling satisfactions which make men contented to do without great ones. I might think society at St. Ogg’s agreeable then. But nothing could make life worth the purchase-money of pain to me, but some Medhi Benatia Jersey faculty that would lift me above the dead level of provincial existence. Yes, there is one thing — a passion answers Seb Hines Jersey as well as a faculty.”
Maggie did not hear the last words; she was struggling against the consciousness that Philip’s words had set her own discontent vibrating again as it used to do.
“I understand what you mean,” she said, “though I know so much less than you do.

But, dear Philip, I think we are only like children that some one Jesus Navas Jersey who is wiser is taking care of. Is it not right to resign ourselves entirely, whatever may be denied us?

Joy and peace are not resignation; Joakim Nilsson Jersey resignation is the willing endurance of a pain that is not allayed, that you don’t expect to be allayed. Stupefaction is not resignation; and it is stupefaction to remain in ignorance — to shut up all the avenues by which the life of your fellow-men might become known to you. I am not resigned; I am not sure that life is long enough to learn that lesson. You are not resigned; you are only trying to stupefy yourself.”
Maggie’s lips trembled; she felt there was some truth in what New York Red Bulls Trøjer Philip said, and yet there was a deeper consciousness that, for any immediate application it had to her conduct, it was no better than falsity. Her double impression corresponded to the double impulse of the speaker. Philip seriously believed what he said, but he Micheal Azira Jersey said it with vehemence because it made an argument against the resolution that opposed AFC Ajax Trøjer his wishes. But Maggie’s face, made more childlike by the gathering tears, touched him with a tenderer, less egotistic feeling. He took her hand and said gently:
Don’t let us Paul-Georges Ntep Jersey think of such things in this short half-hour, Maggie. Let us only care about being together. We shall be friends in spite of separation. We shall always think of each other. I shall be glad to live as long as you are alive, because I shalllinks:
