We could raise prodigious cities and create nations, and explore the universe.
Was not from a mixture of two races that the Titans sprang?
All praise to the masters indeed, but we too could produce a Kant or a Hugo.
We too could wrest iron from the bowels of the earth and fashion it into ships and machines.
Why must we be eternally on our knees before the Kants and Hugos?
