Excerpt from Juvenilia, Vol. 1: Being a Second Series of Essays on Sundry ?sthetical Questions
But whereas to the mature man hawking is but a mere holiday pastime; to the youth it and all similar sports are the most serious matters in the world; indeed, the only matter for which a serious creature can be expected to exist. Hence the hawk is on the wrist, not of the mature man, but of the boy; though the one may bring back whole bags of partridges, and the latter but a solitary brace of sparrows.
Similarly in the case of these essays. I do not imagine that ?sthetical questions are fit only for immature young people - forgive what seems a personal reflexion - nearer twenty than thirty.
