From the Collection of Henry's Unpublished Letters

[Terrance]

The assumption of unity which was the mark of human thought
in the middle-ages has yielded very slowly to the proofs of
complexity.... Yet it is quite sure...that, at the
accelerated rate of progression shown since 1600, it will
not need another century of half century to tip though
upside down. Law, in that case, would disappear as theory or
a priori principle, and give place to force. Morality would
become police. Explosives would reach cosmic violence.
Disintegration would overcome integration. 

					--Henry Adams


West of the Jordan, west of the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the burning of the stage,
Curtain risin' on a new age,
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.
