Excerpt from New Universe: An Outline of the Worlds in Which We Live The parts of modern thinking have grown faster than the whole. The knots, nodes, the cartilage and limbs of the new knowledge and opinion have gone beyond their general symmetry and form. Big hands, big feet, a new voice every hour are the modern era's appropriate endowment; but they are not coordinated. They twist and scatter in all directions, or bend foolishly in the wrong place like a scarecrow. The parts are mighty, but the whole of the modem world is still a frail and muddled failure. Science, for example, the "practical" and the "spirit" all are of one body, but few admit it They are segregated; they lie in nodes and isolations, and indifference still surrounds them. They are set off provincially and made at mutual odds for the sake of minor clarity and convenience. Science, the "practical," the "spirit" all are wagers for one stake of universal size, but few ask what it is. They are ways to that strange and intimate perplexity that is called "the real," but few ask how or where. Through ancient dust and problems science shuffles contentedly along, so long as there are ruts to guide it. New worlds are bursting open over the horizon's rim; the flare and thrust of new realities and new modes of thinking on them disturb the atmosphere, but science on the whole has not yet noticed them. There is a deep worn methodology to say where it shall go; it tramps on massively and lets it go at that. To new tools the practical and social pressures of the world have set man's hands. He works them feverishly; he works and hurries about new means to living; and never finds what living is.
