A STORY HEARD WHILE LISTENING AT DOORS

1824

There is more poetry than one thinks in the ordinary

events of life. Unfortunately, habit prevents us from

understanding it; it is like a man who is envied

universally for an income of a hundred thousand écus,

but who finds no enjoyment in his fortune, because he

has been habituated since the cradle to the wellbeing it

procures, and the pleasures that another would find

therein have become for him needs as necessary as

drinking, sleeping and eating.
