What essence? I did not know at the time; I learned later. There is only one essence, always the same. As yet, man has found no other means to elevate himself - none but routing of matter and the submissions of the individual to an end which transcends the individual, even though that end be chimerical. When the heart believes and loves, nothing chimerical exists; nothing exists but courage, trust and fruitful action (Report to Greco)
