d
waters, and what lies under them; then your everlasting azure sky, and
immeasurable depths of aether, hanging serene overhead. To make of the
human soul a Cosmos, so far as possible, that was Friedrich Wilhelm's
dumb notion: not to leave the human soul a mere Chaos;--how much less
a Singing or eloquently Spouting Chaos, which is ten times worse than a
Chaos left MUTE, confessedly chaotic and not cosmic! To develop the man
into DOING something; and withal into doing it as the Universe and the
Eternal Laws require,--which is but another name for really doing and
not merely seeming to do it:--that was Friedrich Wilhelm's dumb notion:
and it was, I can assure you, very far from being a foolish one, though
there was no Latin in it, and much of Prussian pipe-clay!"

But the Congress of Cambrai is met, and much else is met and parted: and
the Kaiser's Spectre-Hunt, especially his Duel with the She-Dragon of
Spain, is in full course; and it is time we were saying something of the
Double-Marriage in a directly narrative way.
