No one would have believed in the last years of the
|
||
|
|
nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly
|
||
|
|
and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as
|
||
|
|
mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their
|
||
|
|
various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps
|
||
|
|
almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise
|
||
|
|
the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.
