Excerpt from The Arena, 1891, Vol. 4 There are men who call to us: Halt, ye small scientists! We do not understand you! Consequently, you cannot yourselves comprehend what you are talking about! We may reply: However narrow your judgment, your myopia does not afflict all mankind. It must be dec ared to you, gentlemen, that in spite of yourselves, despite your ravings, the chariot of human knowledge advances further than ever before, and will continue its triumphal march towards the conquest of new powers.
