The world values the seer above all men, and has always done so. Nay, it values all men in proportion as they partake of the character of seers.

You love them because you say, These things were not made, they were seen.

There are lone figures armed only with ideas, sometimes with just one idea, who blast away whole epochs in which we are enwrapped like mummies. Some are powerful enough to resurrect the dead. Some steal on us unawares and put a spell over us which it takes centuries to throw off. Some put a curse on us, for our stupidity and inertia, and then it seems as if God himself were unable to lift it.

They were atoms -- nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?
