Excerpt from About Many Things I have been puzzled to know what to call these leaves and pages from the life. "Essays" appears almost too formal a word, though they are truly attempts at expressing thought and the emotion of thought. I say emotion because it seems to me that when we are most closely in contact with life, there comes, sometimes, a sort of stir, like the trembling of the water in the pool of Bethesda, and out of such inner movement a thought may be born. It is just this instant and circumstance of thought that I have tried to lay hold of and render again. Each note or essay has been set down under the influence of that same movement of life.
