ABSTRACT
The universe is eternal, and man, with all substance, bestrides the temporal dimension. In his heart there is a goal: eternity is bounded by perfection. To say that man has attained this or that far towards perfection is not sense; there can be no fractions of infinity. Nevertheless, he shall be perfect; not only he, but by chance some animal may reach perfection before him; and all animals, all semi-animals, all plants, all life, shall have realised their greatness, sought the goal, and come to it, before time is measured. Thus the con¬ stancy of things, like the needle of a compass, is discovered pointing always to the end of that which has no end. This is the Reality of the universe.
