-a first bed of ashes, born of a flintrock spark -a gleaming bronze spearhead -a clay tablet bearing strange symbols -a crude wooden wheel, born at the hand of a Sumerian craftsman -a simple awesome pyramid, straining its bulk against the sky -a great wall, spanning the width of a continent, mortared by the sweat of many men's labor -the call of trumpets, the furor of coliseums, the splendor of temples, the tramp-tramp-tramp- of marching feet -a wood cross, bearing the agonized weight of one man -a glorious song of the human valor in a French noble soldier -two unequally heavy stones dropped from the tower at Piza, and a newly discovered continent -the tragic and comic dramas of an Englishman, both encompassing the spirit of mankind- and reshaping the physical concept of the theater -a New World of new empires, new wealth and new hopes -a fresh emergence of artistic culture, patronized by a wonderful and awful Sun King -a shot heard round the world, bloody snow and a valiant Declaration of Independence -a newly emerged Man of Destiny, determined to conquer the world -the iron fists of Bismarke and Garibaldi merging and strengthening states into nations -the exotic world of the Orient, offering now to the western nations an Open Door and her wrists for shackling -a new and horrific experience for the race of man: world war -a time of wild revelry and a time of great want -the degeneration of a society founded in the utopian teachings of an economic philosopher into an autocracy ridden with fear and greed -a stupefying force, one which can as easily build as annihilate a city -a sphere of gleaming steel, hurled from the womb of the earth and arching high in the stretches of suns
