The very limitations yet appearing in this evolution of ' the nostalgia of that which we lack ' (p. 10) are of interest. Political, social, aesthetic and economic paradises have been constructed, but a polity wherein the cultivation, free pla.y and fruition of intellectual life shall dominate all other joys and interests is yet uncreate, save perhaps in Dante's Limbo ! But it is a grudged bone that he flings to Utopism in admitting that ' they squeeze out of reality what there is to squeeze ' (p. 360). He reproves that thieving fisherman who, when arraigned, called Alexander the Great only another thief on a larger scale, for not discerning that the laws against larceny did not exist for con- querors. But that notable fisherman is a sublime instance of the Utopist imagination which has visions, even on a lower plane of social evolution, of the higher law of social equity, years, even centuries, it may be, before that higher law takes shape in the actual polities of the world.
