Cricket has its own peculiar merits as a training school for manhood. It is the very cumulative strain of boredom which this game imposes that constitutes its superiority. Any game, too, which by laying down fixed rules, teaches boys not to think for themselves, will be of help to them in their mature years; while should these years coincide with a period of war, the lesson will be of inestimable value. Curiously enough, though schoolmasters inculcate the doctrine that an inter-school match is a thing of vital importance to the schools taking part in it, that defeat to a team is equivalent to a loss of battle by an army, yet certain rules are laid down; and the boy, who believing these protestations of his teachers, sought genuinely to help his side by the invention and use of some ingenious mechanism, by the breaking of some old rule, or establishment of some new one, would quickly be disillusioned, called to order by the umpire, lowered in the esteem of his comrades, and perhaps afterwards disgraced publicly

There was an interesting cartoon in an Indian language daily. A politician stocks in his house, the caps, shirts, upper cloth, and flags of all the main parties. He shifts his loyalty to the winning party, donning the appropriate gear. That is the surest way to protect all his possessions, acquired legitimately or otherwise, and cover up his acts of omission and commission. Apart from securing his own interest, it will help his kith and kin too to climb up the political and social ladder. After all, the quid pro quo system operates in all spheres. Naïve adherence to bookish principles and values is of no use in the real world. The politicians survive on power and their gymnastics are quite understandable. But even well-paid employees in all careers and professions tend to bend and mend the rules, regulations and even their conscience to please the higher-ups. Particularly those appointed to serve in high positions by the government of the day, feel beholden to the party or individual responsible for his or her elevated position. They go a step or two beyond what the boss wants them to take. When asked to bend they crawl, as one political leader said. After all, who is not interested in promotions, recognition, upward movement of family and friends, and post-retirement benefits? Most important of all, a few more bucks are always welcome

The morning, which is the most memorable season of the day, is the awareness hour. Then there is least somnolence in us; and for an hour, at least, some part of us awakes which slumbers all the rest of the day and night. Little is to be expected of that day, if it can be called a day, to which we are not awakened by our genius, but by the mechanical nudging of some servitor, or not awakened by our own newly acquired form and aspirations from within, accompanied by the undulations of celestial music, instead of factory bell and a fragrance filling the air – to a higher life than we fell asleep from; and let the darkness bear its fruit, and prove itself to be good, no less than the light. But man who does not believe that each day contains an earlier, more sacred, auroral hour than he has yet profaned, has despaired of life, and is pursuing a descending and darkening way. After a partial cessation of his sensuous life, the soul of man, or its organs rather, are reinvigorated each day and his genius tries again what noble life it can make

The maxim that a poet is born and not made is only true in the sense that great poetical powers are there in the mind of the child and in this sense the same remark might be applied with no less truth to every species of human genius; philosophers, sculptors, painters, critics, orators, statesmen are all born and not made. But because poetical genius is rarer or at any rate wider and more lasting in its appeal than any other, the popular mind with its ready gift for seizing one aspect of truth out of many and crystallizing error into the form of a proverb, has exalted the poet into a splendid freak of nature exempt from the general law. If a man without the inborn oratorical fire may be trained into a good speaker or another without the master’s inspiration of form and colour without for himself a blameless technique, so too many a meagre talent become by diligence a machine for producing elegant verse. But poetic genius needs experience and self-discipline as much as any other and by its complexity more than most. This is eminently true of great poets with a varied gift
