Excerpt from Thoughts and After-Thoughts
I remember Swinburne the poet telling me with a tinge of sadness of his own evolution. He and William Morris were friends in youth.
At that time, said he, William Morris was a Tory of the bluest blood, while I was a red hot Republican. Now, he sighed, Morris addresses Socialist mobs in Trafalgar Square, and I write patriotic Odes for the St. James's Gazette. That is the see-saw of life.
It seems to me that the rarest thing in humanity is independence of mind, the faculty of thinking and acting for oneself; the power to fulfil oneself at all costs.
To be oneself is the greatest luxury in the world, and I am bound to say it is the most expensive.
