(1) When the Romantic Movement was still in its first fervor,it was a common matter of debate whether people should marry for love or for money.The young people concerned usually favored love,and their parents usually favored money.In the novels of the period,the dilemma was felicitously solved by the discovery,on the last page,that the apparently penniless heroine was really a great heiress.But in real life young men who hoped for this denouement were apt to be disappointed.Prudent parents,while admitting that their daughters should marry for love,took care that all the young men they met should be rich.This method was sometimes very successful; it was adopted,for example,by my maternal grandfather,who had a large number of romantic daughters,none of whom married badly.
In these days of psychology the matter no longer looks so simple as it did eighty years ago.We realize now that money may be the cause,or part of the cause,of quite genuine love; of this there are notable examples in history.
(2) Sept.11 delivered both a shock and a surprise—the attack,and our response to it—and we can argue forever over which mattered more.There has been so much talk of the goodness that erupted that day that we forget how unprepared we were for it.We did not expect much from a generation that had spent its middle age examining all the ways it failed to measure up to the one that had come before—all fat,no muscle,less a reason to the world than a bully,drunk on blessings taken for granted.It was tempting to say that Sept.11 changed all that,just as it is tempting to say that every hero needs a villain,and good needs evil as its grinding stone.But try looking a widow in the eye and talking about all the good that has come of this.It may not be a coincidence,but neither is it a partnership:good does not end evil,we owe no debt to demons and the attack did not make us better.It was an occasion to discover what we already were.“Maybe the purpose of all this,” New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliami said at a funeral for a friend,“is to find out America today is as strong as when we fought for our independence or when we fought for ourselves as a union to end slavery of as strong as our fathers and grandfathers who fought to rid the world of Nazism.” The terrorists,he argues,were counting on our cowardice.They’ve learned a lot about us since then.And so have we.
