Capitolo 24
around theirs. In a word, to grant itself with perfect convenience
in Polygonal society, one should be a Polygon itself.
This way at least it is the painful teaching of my experience.
It is as stupendous as the Art--or I can almost call him/it instinct--
of Sight Recognition is developed by his usual practice
and to avoid some custom of "to Feel." In the moment in which, with You,
the deaf one and it makes to be struck dumb, if a time allowed to gesticulate and to use the hand-alphabet,
it will never acquire the more difficulty but far more precious art of lip-discourse
and reading through the movement of the lips, so it is with us as you greet "Sees" and "Feeling."
Anybody that in appeal of early life to "Feeling" it will ever learn "to See"
in perfection.
For this reason, among our Taller Classes "Feeling" you/he/she is discouraged
or absolutely prevented. From the crib their children, instead of going
to the Elementary and Public schools (where the art to Feel is taught,)
it is expeditious to taller Seminars of an exclusive character; and to ours
Illustrious university, "to feel" a more serious guilt is considered,
Rustication that involves for the first offense and Expulsion for the second.
But among the lowest classes the art of Sight Recognition is concerned
as an unattainable luxury. A common Merchant cannot afford to leave
his/her child spends in abstract a bystander of life his/her studies. His/her children
of "to feel" from theirs more first years it is permitted therefore of the poor man,
and they earns with this a precocity and a first vivacity that the contrast
for first more favourablies with the inactive one, developed not, and careless
behaviour of the mean-educated youths of the Polygonal class;
but when the seconds have finally completed their course of University,
and it is prepared to put their theory into practice the change,
that almost comes them on you/he/she can be described as a new birth,
and in every art, science and social search them quickly
reaches and you outdistance their Triangular competitors.
