Napo- leon's conscripts footed it from the Pyrenees, or from Finisterre, or from Calabria — to Vilna. As you are whirled at forty miles an hour across the American continent amid such modest luxury as a Pullman car affords, if you hap- pen to think of the pioneers, thirsty, weary, footsore, shrouded in doubts, who first blazed the trail 30 TJIE COLLAPSE OF SUPERMAN over the prairies and the Rockies to the Pacific, do you look down on them as mere men? Do you look up to yourseK as a Superman?
Wi...th the best intentions in the world, I fear that we must dismiss the Superman myth; or at least we must so revise our definition of Superman that it will fit not those who can do things on a large scale because they have every contriv- ance at their disposal, but those who work marvels with a meagre outfit. Call Columbus in his tiny Santa Maria, of one hundred tons burthen, a Superman if you will, but not the captain of a fifty- thousand-ton ocean liner.
Ill In our glimpses at individual Su- permen and at concrete exam- ples of their acts, perhaps we have not paid sufficient respect to the philosophic theory of the Su- perman.
