Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Passing World It is a trite simile to compare a group of brilliant people to a constellation drawn and kept together by a hidden law. But whereas, to our apprehension, the constellation is composed of what we are pleased to call fixed stars, virtually unchanged since the days of Abraham, the human groups fluctuate incessantly, glimmer and flash and fade, and are extinguished, one by one, until of a great galaxy not one remains. Those who dwelt in the vivid life of forty years ago will perhaps confess to this sensation of the loss of bright light. The present generation possesses ample subjects of interest, and the interchange and modulation of ideas is so rapid that no one can hope to foresee ten years ahead.
