“It is possible that our race may be an accident, in a meaningless universe, living its brief life uncared for, on this dark, cooling star: but even so - and all the more - what marvelous creatures we are! What fairy story, what tale from the Arabian Nights of the jinns, is a hundredth part as wonderful as this true fairy story of simians! It is so much more heartening, too, than the tales we invent. A universe capable of giving birth to many such accidents is - blind or not - a good world to live in, a promising universe. . . . We once thought we lived on God's footstool, it may be a throne.” WorldLifeGivingMayStoriesNightUniverseStarsDarkRaceWonderfulBirthCreaturesCapableBlindAccidentsTalesFairyMeaninglessThronesMarvelousGiving BirthCoolingArabianFairy StoriesJinnArabian NightsBrief Life Author:Clarence Day
