Yet the past is ever with us and all that we are and that
we have comes from the past. We are its products and we live
immersed in it, Not to understand it and feel it as something
living within us is not to understand the present. To combine
it with the present and extend it to the future, to break from it
where it cannot be so united, to make of all this the pulsating
and vibrating material for thought and action — that is life."47

Other men are cast out like so much dross upon the society's refuse heap.

Society can less and less afford this waste.
