SUGGESTITENESS 215 



book calls forth the same responses from two differ- 

 ent types of mind. The wind does not awaken 

 seolian-harp tones from cornstalks. No man is a 

 hero to his valet. It is the deep hollows and passes 

 of the mountains that give back your voice in pro- 

 longed reverberations. The tides are in the sea, not 

 in the lakes and ponds. Words of deep import do 

 not mean much to a child. The world of books is 

 under the same law as these things. What any 

 given work yields us depends largely upon what we 

 bring to it.
