[MD] Burned Out

[John Carl]

Well...  I didn't realize Dave was so fragile or I'd have been gentler I
guess.  Ah well, if we can't find dialectical opposition we can always
create some.
>From an early letter from Josiah Royce to William James I find a fitting
quote for an epitaph.

"For yourself I have only congratulations and best wishes.  (on James
engagement to Alice Howe Gibbons) Might all who philosophize do as well.  On
the whole however philosophy is a cold business.  The world despises the man
who engages in it, and he has to do his best to try to return the
compliment.  This is impossible.  So he has to try the other plan and
idealize the world.  This ends in over-coloring and resulting disappointment
-- such is the eternal process of speculation...

With me in any case, it is quite obvious that I should be simply
insufferable company.  When a youngster will talk metaphysics the best thing
to do with him is to shut him up by himself, or find some place where the
people are as mad as he.  And you, this summer, so I judge, will be
remarkably sane.

Yours very truly,

Josiah Royce"
