“It is enough to have been created, to have embodied for a moment the infinite and tumultuously creative spirit. It is infinitely more than enough to have been used, to have been the rough sketch for some perfected creation. Looking into the future, I saw without sorrow, rather with quiet interest, my own decline and fall.” Has BeensEnoughMomentsUsedSpiritFallInterestMy OwnCreativeSawsCreationSorrowQuietInfiniteRoughDeclineLooking To The FutureCreative Spirit Book:Last and First Men, & Star Maker: Two Science-fiction Novels Source: Last and First Men, & Star Maker: Two Science-fiction Novels

“What a wonder is it, that two natures infinitely distant, should be more intimately united than anything in the world; and yet without any confusion! That the same person should have both a glory and a grief; an infinite joy in the Deity, and an inexpressible sorrow in the humanity!

But the sea is a mighty soul, forever moaning of some great, unshareable sorrow, which shuts it up into itself for all eternity.
