Failure, if it be a plain, unvarnished, complete failure, and even
though it be a squalid failure, has always a certain dignity. I avoided
Soames because he made me feel rather vulgar. John Lane had
published, by this time, two little books of mine, and they had had a
pleasant little success of esteem. I was aâslight, but definite
ââpersonality.â Frank Harris had engaged me to kick up my heels in
âThe Saturday Review,â Alfred Harmsworth was letting me do likewise
in âThe Daily Mail.â I was just what Soames wasnât. And he shamed my
gloss. Had I known that he really and firmly believed in the greatness of
what he as an artist had achieved, I might not have shunned him. No
man who hasnât lost his vanity can be held to have altogether failed.
Soamesâs dignity was an illusion of mine. One day, in the first week of
June, 1897, that illusion went. But on the evening of that day Soames
went, too.
