'Such things--one's way of meeting, morally, the mystery of the universe--lie very deep down, a the bottom of one's trunk. One can't always put one's hand on them in a moment.' . . . Isn't it true, rather, that the deeper they are the more they take the colour of one's general disposition? I'm not aggressive, and certainly I'm not eloquent." Henry James, Roderick Hudson (1875) Oxford Classic 208.
