And yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.

What is this Better, this flying Ideal, but the perpetual promise of his Creator?

  • I count him a great man who inhabits a higher sphere of thought, into which other men rise with labor and difficulty; he has but to open his eyes to see things in a true light, and in large relations; whilst they must make painful corrections, and keep a vigilant eye on many sources of error.
