Excerpt from Sparks From the Fire: A Volume of Essays B have tamed and harnessed the fire in the grate but it still retains something of its elemental nature. It cannot Wholly be conquered, and sometimes - now in a mood of merry exuberance, and now in one of angry defiance - it shows its primeval Spirit by throw ing out sparks. It is even so With the fire that burns in the mind and heart of a man - ~the fire of his being the fire that is himself. This fire may be tamed by convention, and its energy perfor'ce applied to the dull business of the daily round. But, though it may burn for Weeks or months together with a docile and steady ¿ame, it will now and then reassert, if only fitfully, its independence. It will throw out sparks.
