Every man who has reached even his intellectual teens begins to suspect

that life is no farce; that it is not genteel comedy even; that it flowers

and fructifies on the contrary out of the profoundest tragic depths of the

essential death in which its subject's roots are plunged. The natural

inheritance of everyone who is capable of spiritual life is an unsubdued

forest where the wolf howls and the obscene bird of night chatters.

– Henry James Sr., writing to his sons Henry and William
