Yet. turning aside from crowns and coronets, we know that Milton sprang “from .an ancient and gentle stock,” Bacon was of the aris tocrats, Byron was the spoiled darling of fortune, Goethe was of well-to-do parents, Mendelssohn was the son of an eminent banker. So while gentle blood and affluence do not kill genius, they are by no means of vital conse- quence to its growth, for Kepler was the son of an innkeeper, Herschel was the child of an indigent musician, the family of Columbus knew the bitter taste of poverty, the antecedents of Franklin, Voltaire, Rousseau and Mo- liere were poor.
