There is a perfectly genuine and practical disadvantage in having an
original and interesting outlook upon life. The disadvantage is that a
man who has it lives in a cosmos of his own, with new mountains and new
cities and new stars. The whole universe is so lucid to him that he does
not know how complicated and inscrutable appear the fragments of his
view which he reveals. When he is most frank and explanatory he is
called obscure, when he is most sensational he is called abstruse, when
he endeavours to be particularly bald and honest he is called affected.
-The Pall Magazine, Volume 25 (1900)
