In vain my gaze wanders everywhere, to infinity.
But a darkening of storm fills and agitates the sky, and suddenly clothes the morning with a look of evening.

The crowd which I see yonder along the avenue, under cover of the great twilight which goes by with its invisible harmony, profoundly draws my attention.
All those shadows which are shelling themselves out along the road are very tiny, they are separated from one another, they are of the same stature.

From a distance one sees how much one man resembles another.
And it is true that a man is like a man.

The one is not of a different species from the other.

It is a certainty which I am bringing forward--the only one; and the truth is simple, for what I believe I see with my eyes.
The equality of all these human spots that appear in the somber gleams of storm, why--it is a revelation! It is a beginning of distinct order in Chaos.
