 by this I do not mean throwing away what 

 has been earned in the past, and making 

 shipwreck of civilization, but rather the 

 attempt to assimilate this new food if we 

 have not yet become quite used to it, by 

 taking it in instalments, as we might test a 

 boletus or a coprinus atramentarius, falling 

 back for our mainstay upon good whole 

 some brownbread, potatoes, and roast beef, 

 which by long experience we have proved 

 to be reliable diet. But there, I am not a 

 I aganini, and I think that I have played 

 upon that one string more than once before. 

 It is a good string, however, and susceptible 

 of infinite variations of tone, and I am not 

 sure that a master could not play upon it 

 all the music with which life is full.
