Am I here, or am I there? Or is the true self neither this
nor that, neither here nor there, but something so varied and wandering. Passing, glimpsing, everything seems
accidentally but miraculously sprinkled with beauty, as if the tide of trade
which deposits its burden so punctually and prosaically upon the shores of
Oxford Street had this night cast up nothing but treasure. With no thought of
buying, the eye is sportive and generous; it creates; it adorns; it enhances.
Standing out in the street, one may build up all the chambers of an imaginary
house and furnish them at one’s will.
