Greatness conveys so fugitive an idea, that there is no holding it long
enough to make a definition: it is like a sun-beam reflected from water,
playing upon the walls of an apartment: it gives a momentary splendor to
the spot where it falls, and flies away to another and another, but to
which it belongs we cannot determine, so as to say it deserves
distinction.
