Heredity counts for much, for more than we reckon in these matters. We breed horses and 

 cattle with careful study of the principle; the prize bull and Derby winner are the result. With 

 mankind we heed it little, or not at all... .What is genius? None can tell. But may it not be the 

 residt in character of the conflict of violent strains of heredity, which clash like flint and steel, 

 and produce the divine spark ? 



Lord Rosebery.
