102 THAT MARVEL— THE MOVIE out of which I am sure that I shall never be shaken — namely, that when Man recently found a way to stop living, now and then, that he might look at life, he took the greatest step forward that he has ever taken toward becoming a philosopher. He pauses periodically in these days before a screen and sees, as he never did before, what manner of creature he is. By so doing, he must eventually attain to a selfknowledge such as he has hitherto craved but has not known how to acquire.
