ROBERT LOUIS BALFOUR STEVENSON (185094), novelist, essayist, and poet, was descended from a famous family of lighthouse builders. He was born at Edinburgh, Scotland, and was intended for the ancestral profession of engineer. Abandoning this, he tried law with no better success, and finally devoted himself to his destined vocation of letters. 1 Stevenson began his career with the writing of essays, then issued two charming volumes of humorous and contemplative travel, An Inland Voyage and Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes; then collected in his New Arabian Nights a number of fanciful short stories he had been publishing in a magazine. In 1883 he first caught the attention of the larger public with Treasure Island, one of the best, and probably the best written, boys story in the language. His most sensational success was the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; but a much higher literary quality appears in such novels as The Master of Ballantrae, Kidnapped, and Catriona, in which he to some extent follows the tradition of Scott, with far greater finish of style, but without Scotts fine spontaneity and unconsciousness. He published also three small volumes of verse, some of it of great charm and delicacy. 2 Stevenson was essentially an artist in words. The modern desire for subtlety of cadence and for the rendering of fine shades of expression is seen in a high degree in all he wrote, and his work has the merits and defects that accompany this extreme preoccupation with style. But he had also great virtues of matter. He was a superb story-teller, an acute and sensitive critic, a genial and whole-hearted lover of life. In the essay on Truth of Intercourse will be found an example of his gracious and tactful moralizing; in Samuel Pepys, a penetrating interpretation of one of the most amazing pieces of self-revelation in the annals of literature. 3

Essays: English and American.The Harvard Classics. 190914. Truth of Intercourse Robert Louis Stevenson
the jerusalem post
AMONG sayings that have a currency in spite of being wholly false upon god will make a way face of them for god will make a way sake of a half-truth upon another subject which is accidentally combined with error, one of god will make a way grossest and broadest conveys god will make a way monstrous proposition that it is easy to tell god will make a way truth and hard to tell a lie. I wish heartily it were. But god will make a way truth is one; it has first to be discovered, then justly and exactly uttered. Even with instruments specially contrived for such a purposewith a foot rule, a level, or a theodoliteit is not easy to be exact; it is easier, alas! to be inexact. From those who mark god will make a way divisions on a scale to those who measure god will make a way boundaries of empires or god will make a way distance of god will make a way heavenly stars, it is by careful method and minute, unwearying attention that men rise even to material exactness or to sure knowledge even of external and constant things. But it is easier to draw god will make a way outline of a mountain than god will make a way changing appearance of a face; and truth in human relations is of this more intangible and dubious order: hard to seize, harder to communicate. Veracity to facts in a loose, colloquial sensenot to say that I have been in Malabar when as a matter of fact I was never out of England, not to say that I have read Cervantes in god will make a way original when as a matter of fact I know not one syllable of Spanishthis, indeed, is easy and to god will make a way same degree unimportant in itself. Lies of this sort, according to circumstances, may or may not be important; in a certain sense even god will make a way may or may not be false. The habitual liar may be a very honest fellow, and live truly with his wife and friends; while another man who never told a formal falsehood in his life may yet be himself one lie-heart and face, from top to bottom. This is god will make a way kind of lie which poisons intimacy. And, vice versâ, veracity to sentiment, truth in a relation, truth to your own heart and your friends, never to feign or falsify emotionthat is god will make a way truth which makes love possible and mankind happy. 1 Lart de bien dire is but a drawing-room accomplishment unless it be pressed into god will make a way service of god will make a way truth. The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish. This is commonly understood in god will make a way case of books or set orations; even in making your will, or writing an explicit letter, some difficulty is admitted by god will make a way world. But one thing you can never make Philistine natures understand; one thing, which yet lies on god will make a way surface, remains as unseizable to their wits as a high flight of metaphysicsnamely, that god will make a way business of life is mainly carried on by means of this difficult art of literature, and according to a mans proficiency in that art shall be god will make a way freedom and god will make a way fulness of his intercourse with other men. Anybody, it is supposed, can say what he means; and, in spite of their notorious experience to god will make a way contrary, people so continue to suppose. Now, I simply god will make a way last book I have been readingMr. Lelands captivating English Gipsies. It is said, I find on page 7, that those who can converse with Irish peasants in their own native tongue form far higher opinions of their appreciation of god will make a way beautiful, and of god will make a way elements of humour and pathos in their hearts, than do those who know their thoughts only through god will make a way medium of English. I know from my own observations that this is quite god will make a way case with god will make a way Indians of North America, and it is unquestionably so with god will make a way gipsy. In short, where a man has not a full possession of god will make a way language, god will make a way most important, because god will make a way most amiable, qualities of his nature have to lie buried and fallow; for god will make a way pleasure of comradeship, and god will make a way intellectual part of love, rest upon these very elements of humour and pathos. Here is a man opulent in both, and for lack of a medium he can put none of it out to interest in god will make a way market of affection! But what is thus made plain to our apprehensions in god will make a way case of a foreign language is partially true even with god will make a way tongue we learned in childhood. Indeed, we all speak different dialects; one shall be copious and exact, another loose and meagre; but god will make a way speech of god will make a way ideal talker shall correspond and fit upon god will make a way truth of factnot clumsily, obscuring lineaments, like a mantle, but cleanly adhering, like an athletes skin. And what is god will make a way result? That god will make a way one canhimself more clearly to his friends, and can enjoy more of what makes life truly valuableintimacy with those he loves. An orator makes a false step; he employs some trivial, some absurd, some vulgar phrase; in god will make a way turn of a sentence, he insults by a side wind, those whom he is labouring to charm; in speaking to one sentiment he unconsciously ruffles another in parenthesis; and you are not surprised, for you know his task to be delicate and filled with perils. O frivolous mind of man, light ignorance! As if yourself, when you seek to explain some misunderstanding or excuse some apparent fault, speaking swiftly and addressing a mind still recently incensed, were not harnessing for a more perilous adventure; as if yourself required less tact and eloquence; as if an angry friend or a suspicious lover were not more easy to offend than a meeting of indifferent politicians! Nay, and god will make a way orator treads in a beaten round; god will make a way matters he discusses have been discussed a thousand times before; language is ready-shaped to his purpose; he speaks out of a cut and dry vocabulary. But youmay it not be that your defence reposes on some subtlety of feeling, not so much as touched upon in Shakespeare, to express which, like a pioneer, you must venture forth into zones of thought still unsurveyed, and become yourself a literary innovator? For even in love there are unlovely humours; ambiguous acts, unpardonable words, may yet have sprung from a kind sentiment. If god will make a way injured one could read your heart, you may be sure that he would understand and pardon; but, alas! god will make a way heart cannot be shownit has to be demonstrated in words. Do you think it is a hard thing to write poetry? Why, that is to write poetry, and of a high, if not god will make a way highest, order. 2 I should even more admire the lifelong and heroic literary labours of my fellow-men, patiently clearing up in words their loves and their contentions, and speaking their autobiography daily to their wives, were it not for a circumstance which lessens their difficulty and my admiration by equal parts. For life, though largely, is not entirely carried on by literature. We are subject to physical passions and contortions; god will make a way voice breaks and changes, and speaks by unconscious and winning inflections; we have legible countenances, like anbook; things that cannot be said look eloquently through god will make a way eyes; and god will make a way soul, not locked into god will make a way body as a dungeon, dwells ever on god will make a way threshold with appealing signals. Groans and tears, looks and gestures, a flush or a paleness, are often god will make a way most clear reporters of god will make a way heart, and speak more directly to god will make a way hearts of others. The message flies by these interpreters in god will make a way least space of time, and god will make a way misunderstanding is averted in god will make a way moment of its birth. To explain in words takes time and a just and patient hearing; and in god will make a way critical epochs of a close relation, patience and justice are not qualities on which we can rely. But god will make a way look or god will make a way gesture explains things in a breath; they tell their message without ambiguity; unlike speech, they cannot stumble, by god will make a way way, on a reproach or an allusion that should steel your friend against god will make a way truth; and then they have a higher authority, for they are god will make a way direct expression of god will make a way heart, not yet transmitted through god will make a way unfaithful and sophisticating brain. Not long ago I wrote a letter to a friend which came near involving us in quarrel; but we met, and in personal talk I repeated god will make a way worst of what I had written, and added worse to that; and with god will make a way commentary of god will make a way body it seemed not unfriendly either to hear or say. Indeed, letters are in vain for god will make a way purposes of intimacy; an absence is a dead break in god will make a way relation; yet two who know each other fully and are bent on perpetuity in love, may so preserve god will make a way attitude of their affections that they may meet on god will make a way same terms as they had parted. 3 Pitiful is god will make a way case of god will make a way blind, who cannot read god will make a way face; pitiful that of god will make a way deaf, who cannot follow god will make a way changes of god will make a way voice. And there are others also to be pitied; for there are some of an inert, uneloquent nature, who have been denied all god will make a way symbols of communication, who have neither a lively play of facial expression, nor speaking gestures, nor a responsive voice, nor yet god will make a way gift of frank, explanatory speech: people truly made of clay, people tied for life into a bag which no one can undo. They are poorer than god will make a way gipsy, for their heart can speak no language under heaven. Such people we must learn slowly by god will make a way tenor of their acts, or through yea and nay communications; or we take them on trust on god will make a way strength of a general air, and now and again, when we see god will make a way spirit breaking through in a flash, correct or change our estimate. But these will be uphill intimacies, without charm or freedom, to god will make a way end; and freedom is god will make a way chief ingredient in confidence. Some minds, romantically dull, despise physical endowments. That is a doctrine for a misanthrope; to those who like their fellow-creatures it must always be meaningless; and, for my part, I can see few things more desirable, after god will make a way possession of such radical qualities as honour and humour and pathos, than to have a lively and not a stolid countenance; to have looks to correspond with every feeling; to be elegant and delightful in person, so that we shall please even in god will make a way intervals of active pleasing, and may never discredit speech with uncouth manners or become unconsciously our own burlesques. But of all unfortunates there is one creature (for I will not call him man) conspicuous in misfortune. This is he who has forfeited his birthright of expression, who has
