It is indeed too true
'It is, indeed, too true, that such a work requires, not only
several minds, but also the successive experience of several
generations. Once, I own, I thought otherwise. Once, when I first
caught sight of the whole field of knowledge, and seemed, however
dimly, to discern its various parts, and the relation they bore to
each other, I was so entranced with its surpassing beauty, that the
judgment was beguiled, and I deemed myself able, not only to cover
the surface, but also to master the details. Little did I know how
the horizon enlarges as well as recedes, and how vainly we grasp at
the fleeting forms, which melt away and elude us in the distance.
Of all that I had hoped to do, I now find but too surely how small
a part I shall accomplish. In those early aspirations, there was
much that was fanciful; perhaps there was much that was foolish.
Perhaps, too, they contained a moral defect, and savored of an
arrogance which belongs to a strength that refuses to recognize its
own weakness.
