Human
history,
like
all
great
movements,
was
cyclical,
and
returned
to
the
point
of
beginning.
The
idea
of
indefinite
progress
in
a
right
line
was
a
chimera
of
the
imagination,
with
no
analogue
in
nature.
The
parabola
of
a
comet
was
perhaps
a
yet
better
illustration
of
the
career
of
humanity.
Tending
upward
and
sunward
from
the
aphelion
of
barbarism,
the
race
attained
the
perihelion
of
civilization
only
to
plunge
downward
once
more
to
its
nether
goal
in
the
regions
of
chaos.
The replay is still saving.
