Man and His Machines

He has builded him machines—man the Maker—using great cunning of hand

and of brain. And has not Bergson told us that thus has he evolved that

tool, the Intellect—through the dim ages of his making!

He has builded him states, politics, all the intricate architecture of

institutions.

Now who would think that what he himself has builded—builded through the

thousands of years of endeavor—should thus turn about, ungrateful, to

destroy and to rend him?
