--We had better go to dinner, said Stephen. What could a man require more from a nation so pliant and so prone to seek after knowledge? What wants there to such a towardly and pregnant soil, but wise and faithful labourers, to make a knowing people, a nation of prophets, of sages, and of worthies? We reckon more than five months yet to harvest; there need not be five weeks; had we but eyes to lift up, the fields are white already. Some seem to believe that our politics can afford to be petty because, in a time of peace, the stakes of our debates appear small. I've been living with the miserable truth, and now it has only too much closed round me.
