First sentence: When man puts his faculties on the strut and the stretch, he builds pyramids, founds empires,wages wars, circumnavigates the globe, writes epic poems, histories and dictionaries, and delivers speeches and lectures. In short it is doubtless by this stiffening of himself, this straining and striving, that he ahieves most ofthose things that get him what is called a name.
