About the book >.>.> Like the Wise Men of the East, he brings with him Gold, Frank- incense, and Myrrh-Gold for the kingly attributes of his work; Frankincense for "the Father of Lights", from whom comes every perfect gift; and Myrrh for the sepulchre of hopes unattained. And, all the while he is creating, he hovers between the Mount of Trans- figuration and the Valley of Humiliation. Heredity and environment are the two great factors that govern man's mentality, personality, and destiny. Some think that environ- ment is the stronger and can overcome inherited faults, that a child's original disposition can be so moulded by training that he can be practically re-created. This may be true of certain normal men- talities; but the genius is ruled entirely by heredity, and, as he walks through life along that definite pathway he makes for himself, is both removed from, and unmoved by, the influences which shape other men's careers. He fashions his own environment, overcomes circumstances, breaks all the laws that govern art, yet surpasses all the efforts of others, to whom those laws are essential as a guide. He has his own ways of learning and of doing everything. (MP)
