Figure 15.3. “Where Once Were Doors and Windows” on Antelope Mesa. Photograph by Frank Russell, 1900.

“You haven’t touched bottom yet,” said the Man of Science, as he reloaded the kodak. “The real undercurrent is not a matter of belief or unbelief. It is the principle of conquest, the joy of wielding influence and dominating another’s thought. And, moreover, it touches the innate human passion for accumulating. Some choose to collect dollars; others have a fancy for wreaths of laurel; still others prefer souls. And may not a man have what he wants, if he is willing to pay for it?”

“He is prone to take it, anyhow. And is he thereby justified in any kind of choice?”

“Justification of others is not a human prerogative any more than condemnation. But the wise man will pray for an honest ambition and the grace to use it independently and unselfishly.”

“Supper all leady!” sings out Sliver, and in a trice, all our philosophy is plumb forgot.
