safeguard against inversion. There are, however, certain occupations to which inverts are specially attracted. Acting is certainly one of the chief of these. Three of my cases belong to the dramatic profession, and others have marked dramatic ability. Art, again, in its various forms, and music, exercise much attraction. In my experience, however, literature is the avocation to which inverts seem to feel chiefly called, and that moreover in which they may find the highest degree of success and reputation. At least half-a-dozen of my cases are successful men of letters.” Of Literature in this connection, and of the great writers of the world whose work has been partly inspired by the Uranian love, I have myself already spoken.[60] It may further be said that those of the modern artist-writers and poets who have done the greatest service in the way of interpreting and reconstructing _Greek_ life and ideals--men like Winckelmann, Goethe, Addington Symonds, Walter Pater--have had a marked strain of this temperament in them. And this has been a service of great value, and one which the world could ill have afforded to lose. The painters and sculptors, especially of the renaissance period in Italy, yield not a few examples of men whose work has been similarly inspired--as in the cases of Michel Angelo, Lionardo, Bazzi, Cellini, and others. As to music, this is certainly the art which in its subtlety and tenderness--and perhaps in a certain inclination to _indulge_ in emotion--lies nearest to the Urning nature. There are few in fact of this nature who have not some gift in the direction of music--though, unless we cite Tschaikowsky, it does not appear that any thorough-going Uranian has attained to the highest eminence in this art.
