There will be no need for keeping in touch with human nature, no call for patience and all that laborious upbuilding stone by stone which is so apt to discourage mankind and imperil the fruition of great reforms. No, sir; you you must be this League, and we will all work to the end that tomorrow at latest there may be perfected this crowning achievement of the human species."
Impossible to admonish him; impossible to direct him on a humbler path, where he might attain some result.
