Excerpt from Jack Ballington ForesterI am the child of the Centuries. I am the son of the Eons which were. I have always been, and I shall always be. To make me it has taken fire, star-dust, and the Spirit of God - the lives of billions of people, and the lights of a million suns.I have grown from sun and star-dust to the thing-which-thinks.It were the basest in gratitude if I were not both thankful to God and proud of my pedigree.What has come to me has been good, what shall come will be better: for I am Evolution, and I grow ever to greater things. Life has been good, death will be better, for it is the cause of all my past, making for a still greater future.And this I know, not from Books nor from Knowledge, but from the unafraid, never silent voice of Instinct within me, which is God.My debt to the past is great: I can never, in full, repay it, for they, my creditors, passed with it. They left me a world beautiful: shall I make it a world bare? They left a world bountiful: shall I leave it blazed and barren to the sands of death?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
