At the End of its Tether

"The writer finds very considerable reason for believing that within a period to be estimated by weeks and months rather than by aeons, there has been a fundamental change in the conditions under which life-and not simply human life but all self-conscious existance - has been going on since its beginning.

H.G. Wells, Mind at the End of its Tether, 1946

Sallustius, On the Gods and the Cosmos, I
