By Arnold W. Schmidt, Somerset.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Grinch. Your friends who believe he is a “stable genius” are wrong. They have been overwhelmed by his constant self-flattery, self-aggrandizement, and self-promotion. In this great world of ours, this Grinch is a mere insect; an ant, in his intellect; as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Prior
to the incumbency of this Grinch you may have never believed in the
devil. But the devil is in the details. Previously there was faith,
poetry, and romance to make tolerable this existence. Now we have little
enjoyment or hope except in the sense of changes to come. That eternal
light with which childhood fills the world will not be extinguished.
