Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore
·
Charles Kingsley
33
For
his
moral
character,
he
must,
like
a
knight
of
old,
be
first
of
all
gentle
and
courteous,
ready
and
able
to
ingratiate
himself
with
the
poor,
the
ignorant,
and
the
savage;
not
only
because
foreign
travel
will
be
often
otherwise
impossible,
but
because
he
knows
how
much
invaluable
local
information
can
be
only
obtained
from
fishermen,
miners,
hunters,
and
tillers
of
the
soil.
Next,
he
should
be
brave
and
enterprising,
and
withal
patient
and
undaunted;
not
merely
in
travel,
but
in
investigation;
knowing
(as
Lord
Bacon
might
have
put
it)
that
the
kingdom
of
Nature,
like
the
kingdom
of
heaven,
must
be
taken
by
violence,
and
that
only
to
those
who
knock
long
and
earnestly
does
the
great
mother
open
the
doors
of
her
sanctuary.
He
must
be
of
a
reverent
turn
of
mind
also;
not
rashly
discrediting
any
reports,
however
vague
and
fragmentary;
giving
man
credit
always
for
some
germ
of
truth,
and
giving
Nature
credit
for
an
inexhaustible
fertility
and
variety,
which
will
keep
him
his
life
long
always
reverent,
yet
never
superstitious;
wondering
at
the
commonest,
but
not
surprised
by
the
most
strange;
free
from
the
idols
of
size
and
sensuous
loveliness;
able
to
see
grandeur
in
the
minutest
objects,
beauty,
in
the
most
ungainly;
estimating
each
thing
not
carnally,
as
the
vulgar
do,
by
its
size
or
its
pleasantness
to
the
senses,
but
spiritually,
by
the
amount
of
Divine
thought
revealed
to
Man
therein;
holding
every
phenomenon
worth
the
noting
down;
believing
that
every
pebble
holds
a
treasure,
every
bud
a
revelation;
making
it
a
point
of
conscience
to
pass
over
nothing
through
laziness
or
hastiness,
lest
the
vision
once
offered
and
despised
should
be
withdrawn;
and
looking
at
every
object
as
if
he
were
never
to
behold
it
again.
