When the human being puts forth a force in himself which is
\nconsiderable but acts normally, we call it talent; when it is abnormal in its working we call it genius. It would seem, therefore,
\nthat genius is in reality some imperfect step in evolution by which mankind in its most vigorous and forward individuals is
\nattempting to develop a faculty which the race as a whole is not strong enough as yet to command or to acclimatise. As always
\nhappens in such a movement, there is a considerable irregularity in the working of the new phenomenon. Sometimes Nature
\nseems to prepare by heredity for these its new experiments & fine flowers of humanity[.]
