Ones’ belief had fattened on impossibilities. Before the boy was six years old, he had seen four impossibilities made actual –the ocean-steamer, the railway, the electric telegraph, and the Daguerreotype, nor could he ever learn which of the four had most hurried others to come.
During a million or two of years, every generation in turn had toiled with endless agony to attain and apply power, all the while betraying the deepest alarm and horror at the power they created.
