“So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say. But to sacri fice a hair of the head of your vision, a shade of its colour, in deference to some Headmaster with a silver pot in his hand or some professor with a measuring-rod up his sleeve, is the most abject treachery, and the sacri ce of wealth and chastity which used to be said to be the greatest of human disasters, a mere flea-bite in comparison.”
