Excerpt from Lucifer at Large

A fallen angel is a splendid thing; a fallen simian is not. The one can topple from high heaven; the other, only from a tree.

Let men and women of fiction fall to any depths, but let them fall as men and women. For, as I say, to fall very far, characters have to be human - and even somewhat divine. Otherwise, it is rather difficult to think of them as having any place to fall from: to use the figure which Mr. Galsworthy once applied to some of his own creatures, they seem to be characters who are only falling off the floor.
