The Dedication
To humanity!
A glad tiding... and a greeting.
A glad tiding that God has reserved for it the perfection of both the life of thought and the life of feeling - what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and what has never occurred to the heart of any human being.
And a greeting to Man, as he stirs today within her womb, with labor pains grown fierce, and the breath of dawn breaking forth.
