You don't like advice, do you?
Have you ever heard of that Sparker affair?"
"You don't mean to say--"
"Yes. That was me. That was my little contribution to the gaiety of
University life. So you see I am in the position to give advice to
people like yourself. I think you should cultivate the function of the
real, and try to remain in contact with phenomena. Noumena are bad for
a youngster. But perhaps you are not interested in psychology?"
"Not exactly, I'm afraid," replied Denis, who was more anxious to see
those cannas.
"So I perceive. Wouldn't you get more fun out of life if you were? I am
nearly done with psychology now," he added. "It was the Greek
philosophers before then. When I take up a subject this is what I do. I
don't ask what are Aristotle's teachings or relations to his age or to
humanity. That would lead me too far. I ask myself: what has this
fellow got to say to me? To me, you understand. To me."
"That must simplify matters."
"It does," replied Keith, quite unaware of the faint tinge of College
irony in the other's words.
