And it called for a change of behavior in the present on the part of individuals invested in the vision.

Its success will be measured by the nature of his vision, what he has done to equip himself, and how well he has performed along the line of its development.

What we feel in them is a painstaking submission to facts beyond the author's control, and to ideas imposed upon him by his vision. So with Beethoven's Symphonies, with Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations -- with any conceivable output of the human mind of which you approve. You love them because you say, These things were not made, they were seen.
