Excerpt from Romantic Professions: And Other Papers
Countrywomen indulge a more fastidious fancy than their sisters in less democratic lands. It is lamentable, indeed, when you come to reflect on it, how large a proportion Of useful and respectable callings falls under the ban Of romance. What poet or romancer ever made his first lover, for example, a bailiff or a beadle? Yet bailiffs and beadles are men and brothers. They may do their Often-times dangerous duty with the dash Of a Rupert or the cool courage Of a Cromwell, yet they are frankly impossible as heroes of romance. De Quincey makes a remark somewhere to the effect that one would not be inclined to think highly Of a man who, in the absence Of predisposing circumstances, deliberately and for the love Of the business decided to be a butcher Yet butchers are husbands and fathers, and have blood in their veins as well as on their aprons. As a matter Of statistics, I suppose hardly a day passes but some solicitor falls in love; yet no court Of love or literature will give him audience as a lover, or take cognisance of his pleadings. The breast of the stock.
