The people became negligent and oblivious. Minds weakened until conditions reached such a crisis that material science rose in the ascendant.
In the vast field of criticism on which we are entering, innumerable reapers have already put their sickles. Yet the harvest is so abundant that the negligent search of a straggling gleaner may be rewarded with a sheaf.
