﻿A wobble: By the way, the wobbles in our papers have a true office to perforin— that of bringing the sublime and the ridiculous into a compromising proximity. . . . 
True humor, after all, is the carefree manhandling of extremes— to extremes extreme sorrow. To illustrate: 
A STEEL MAGNATE CRYING IS A PATHETIC FIGURE. 
Not always! 
A steel magnate crying and (at the same time) eating a pig’s foot— is rather a pleasing spectacle. 
That’s what I mean by sublime and ridiculous. . . .
