PREFACE
That we might see, eyes were given us; and a tongue to tell accurately
what we had got to see. It is the alpha and omega of all intellect
that man has. No poetry, hardly even that of Goethe, is equal to the
true image of reality--had one eyes to see that.--T. CARLYLE, _Letters
to Varnhagen Von Ense_.
