THE GRANDEUR OF MAN IN HIS LITTLENESS.
Juliette Bauer translation
THE GRANDEUR OF MAN IN HIS LITTLENESS.
Man upon this earth would be vanity and hollowness, dust and ashes, vapor and a bubble,--were it not that he felt himself to be so. That it is possible for him to harbor such a feeling,--this, by implying a comparison of himself with something higher in himself, this is it which makes him the immortal creature that he is.
