The Cities of the Sun #248846

In this volume I have endeavored by scientific deductions to create new ideals of man's future life, and give it a habitation and a place. It is said, Spirits are not finely touched but to fine issues, and the human being is primarily as well as potentially the spiritual being even in this part of life. Hope, that springs eternal in the human breast, and faith, are the guides and evidence of an other life. He that makes us believe, does not play false with us in our nature. His inspiration is our conviction, stronger than verbal declaration, ghostly appari tion, or bodily resurrection. Charming said: The only argument against a future life is the greatness of the conception — it is too wonderful. Ah I but to live at all — this is the marvel, the strange and impossible, the greatest wonder and surprise of all. After this there are no wonders, no more impossibilities. To live one day is as great a miracle as to live an eternity.
