Let us start fair by frankly admitting that the genius, like the poet, is b=
orn and not made=2E If you wish to apply the recipe for producing him, it i=
s unfortunately necessary to set out by selecting beforehand his grandfathe=
rs and grandmothers, to the third and fourth generation of those that prece=
de him=2E Nevertheless, there =5Fis=5F a recipe for the production of geniu=
s, and every actual concrete genius who ever yet adorned or disgraced this =
oblate spheroid of ours has been produced, I believe, in strict accordance =
with its unwritten rules and unknown regulations=2E In other words, geniuse=
s don't crop up irregularly anywhere, 'quite promiscuous like'=3B they have=
 their fixed laws and their adequate causes: they are the result and effect=
 of certain fairly demonstrable concatenations of circumstance: they are, i=
n short, a natural product, not a =5Flusus naturae=5F=2E You get them only =
under sundry relatively definite and settled conditions=3B and though it is=
n't (unfortunately) quite true that the conditions will always infallibly b=
ring forth the genius, it is quite true that the genius can never be brough=
t forth at all without the conditions=2E Do men gather grapes of thorns, or=
