Poets the Interpreters of Their Age (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 23. 1. 2018 - 406 strán (strany) Excerpt from Poets the Interpreters of Their Age Thus we would fain trace to its source the great river of humanity, which had its rise in the dark backward and abysm of time. Futile, however, is our wish! An impenetrable veil shrouds the origin of man, and conceals from our gaze the progenitors of the human race. Science, it is true, promises to gratify our curiosity; she invites us to gaze upon the primordial germ from which, in accordance with her theory, have sprung the various tribes of living things, culminating with the appearance of man upon the globe. Should this theory prove correct, our sense of the mysterious grandeur of the universe, and of the preordaining wisdom of the all pervading mind, would, in my judgment, be enhanced.
