The caddis-fly leaves his tube behind and soars into upper
air; the creature abandons its barnacle existence on the rock
and swims at large in the sea. For it is just when we die to
custom that, for the first time, we rise into the true life of
humanity; it is just when we abandon all prejudice of our own
superiority over others, and become convinced of our entire
indefensibleness, that the world opens out with comrade faces in
all directions.--_Fortnightly Review._
