The thing's so perfect that it's open to as many interpretations as any other great work--a poem of Goethe, a dialogue of Plato, a symphony of Beethoven. Dane echoed the sigh, and, as nobody talking with nobody, they sat there together still and watched the sweet wide picture darken into tepid night. All it so securely did have overwhelmed him again, and he couldn't help breaking out: "WHAT is it? What practice has one ever had in estimating (259) the inestimable?

They seemed each, thus confronted, to close their eyes a moment for dizziness; then they were again at peace and the Brother's confidence rang out. There are hours--!" Yes, that was it; he had been "off"--off, off, off. It has GOT to last of course!" "Ah don't speak as if we were dead!" He was as glad as I--he was tremendously glad.
