A great man works with the ideas of his age, and regenerates them. But in as far as he regenerates them, he gets beyond the ordinary mind; while in as far as he operates with them, he remains accessible to it. And his own mind has its ordinary side; the regeneration of ideas which he is able to effect is not able to effect is not complete, and the notions of the day not only limit his entire range of achievement--where the strongest runner will get to must depend on where he starts--but float about unassimiltated within his living stream of thought. Now all this ordinary side of his mind will partake of the strength and splendour of his whole natue. And thus he will seem to have preached the very superstitions which he combated.
