t of unconscious politician among novelists, he
gathers his premonitions at happy moments, when the drift is already
setting in. Never once has Mr. Churchill like a philosopher or a
seer, run off alone.

Even for those, however, who perceive that he belongs intellectually
to a middle class which is neither very subtle nor very profound on
the one hand nor very shrewd or very downright on the other, it is
impossible to withhold from Mr. Churchill the respect due a sincere,
scrupulous, and upright man who has served the truth and his art
according to his lights.... The sounds which have reached him from
among the people have come from those who eagerly aspire to better
things arrived at by orderly progress, from those who desire in some
lawful way to outgrow the injustices and inequalities of civil
existence and by fit methods to free the human spirit from all that
clogs and stifles it. But as they aspire and intend better than they
think, so, in concert with them, does Mr. Churchill.
