There
’
s
just
one
thing
that
prevents
me
from
taking
you
.
"
Brissenden
waited
a
moment
.
"
The
thing
is
big
—
the
biggest
I
’
ve
ever
done
.
I
know
that
.
It
’
s
my
swan
song
.
I
am
almighty
proud
of
it
.
I
worship
it
.
It
’
s
better
than
whiskey
.
It
is
what
I
dreamed
of
—
the
great
and
perfect
thing
—
when
I
was
a
simple
young
man
,
with
sweet
illusions
and
clean
ideals
.
And
I
’
ve
got
it
,
now
,
in
my
last
grasp
,
and
I
’
ll
not
have
it
pawed
over
and
soiled
by
a
lot
of
swine
.
No
,
I
won
’
t
take
the
bet
.
It
’
s
mine
.
I
made
it
,
and
I
’
ve
shared
it
with
you
.
"
"
But
think
of
the
rest
of
the
world
,
"
Martin
protested
.
"
The
function
of
beauty
is
joy
-
making
.
"
"
It
’
s
my
beauty
.
"
"
Don
’
t
be
selfish
.
"
"
I
’
m
not
selfish
.
"
Brissenden
grinned
soberly
in
the
way
he
had
when
pleased
by
the
thing
his
thin
lips
were
about
to
shape
.
"
I
’
m
as
unselfish
as
a
famished
hog
.
"
In
vain
Martin
strove
to
shake
him
from
his
decision
.
Martin
told
him
that
his
hatred
of
the
magazines
was
rabid
,
fanatical
,
and
that
his
conduct
was
a
thousand
times
more
despicable
than
that
of
the
youth
who
burned
the
temple
of
Diana
at
Ephesus
.
Under
the
storm
of
denunciation
Brissenden
complacently
sipped
his
toddy
and
affirmed
that
everything
the
other
said
was
quite
true
,
with
the
exception
of
the
magazine
editors
.
His
hatred
of
them
knew
no
bounds
,
and
he
excelled
Martin
in
denunciation
when
he
turned
upon
them
.
"
I
wish
you
’
d
type
it
for
me
,
"
he
said
.
"
You
know
how
a
thousand
times
better
than
any
stenographer
.
And
now
I
want
to
give
you
some
advice
.
"
He
drew
a
bulky
manuscript
from
his
outside
coat
pocket
.
"
Here
’
s
your
‘
Shame
of
the
Sun
.
’
I
’
ve
read
it
not
once
,
but
twice
and
three
times
—
the
highest
compliment
I
can
pay
you
.
After
what
you
’
ve
said
about
‘
Ephemera
’
I
must
be
silent
.
But
this
I
will
say
:
when
‘
The
Shame
of
the
Sun
’
is
published
,
it
will
make
a
hit
.
It
will
start
a
controversy
that
will
be
worth
thousands
to
you
just
in
advertising
.
"
Martin
laughed
.
"
I
suppose
your
next
advice
will
be
to
submit
it
to
the
magazines
.
"
"
By
all
means
no
—
that
is
,
if
you
want
to
see
it
in
print
.
Offer
it
to
the
first
-
class
houses
.
Some
publisher
’
s
reader
may
be
mad
enough
or
drunk
enough
to
report
favorably
on
it
.
You
’
ve
read
the
books
.
The
meat
of
them
has
been
transmuted
in
the
alembic
of
Martin
Eden
’
s
mind
and
poured
into
‘
The
Shame
of
the
Sun
,
’
and
one
day
Martin
Eden
will
be
famous
,
and
not
the
least
of
his
fame
will
rest
upon
that
work
.
So
you
must
get
a
publisher
for
it
—
the
sooner
the
better
.
"
Brissenden
went
home
late
that
night
;
and
just
as
he
mounted
the
first
step
of
the
car
,
he
swung
suddenly
back
on
Martin
and
thrust
into
his
hand
a
small
,
tightly
crumpled
wad
of
paper
.
