Excerpt from Letters on Aristocracy, Self-Dependence, and the Principles of Morality This, then, is the eternal attraction presented to our view, on an attentive observation of past and pre sent time. Humanity is ceaselessly striving to unfold itself, to acquire a form, and to perpetuate this form when acquired, but still ever aims at new youth, and new birth, and untried development, even as the individual man, when his career is well-nigh ended, longs to live over again his youth, his manhood, and his old age. Without this powerful agency, the life of the human race would ossify, the reason of one age would remain the reason of all succeeding ages.
