When a man over forty tries to repent of the sins of England and to love her enemies, he is attempting something costly; for he was brought up to certain patriotic sentiments which cannot be mortified without a struggle. But an educated man who is now in his twenties usually has no such sentiments to mortified. In art, in the future, in politics, he has been, ever since he can remember, one of an angry and restless minorities; he has drunk in almost with his mother's milk a distrust of English statesman and a contempt of the matters, pleasures, and enthusiasms of his less-educated countrymen.
