Abstract
MAN! What a masterpiece of creation! What a wonder of wonders! In composition how harmonious, how singular! Regarded from merely a mechanical viewpoint, the human body is so infinitely complex, so harmonious, so responsive, so delicate and yet so powerful, that all wonders of nature dwarf in comparison. Our huge buildings and beautiful edifices all fade into insignificance when compared to that edifice of Man. The charming splendor and thrilling beauty of nature, of her snowcapped mountains, her warbling streams, her thundering falls and her mighty canyons that defy description, grow placid when compared to Man. Thus, Man stands alone.
