Thoughts on the precipice
"How immense the universe is!
How eternal history is!
I wanted to measure the immensity with this puny five-foot body.
What authority has Horatio's philosophy?
The true nature of the whole creation.
...
I have no anxiety.
I recognize for the first time.
Great pessimism is nothing but great optimism."
#OTD in 1903.
