Excerpt from The Transformation of Felix
Roman, German and Russian, French and English. We all came over. But we are only a microcosm of the colossal world we should be. Just as when the silver is dissolved in nitric acid, the solu tion becomes one of silver-nitrate, so when the rest of the world is dissolved in this Continent the solution becomes world-american - after that there is no room here for either the silver or the acid; it is the nitrate we are after.
