But can I ever forget the one whom I see everywhere in the greatest moment of our
adventures—he who in those uncertain days opened up a new path and forged ahead
so rapidly, choosing those who would accompany him? No one else was his equal that
year. It might almost have been said that he transformed cities and life merely by
looking at them. In a single year he discovered enough material for a century of
demands; the depths and mysteries of urban space were his conquest.
