Ralph Waldo Emerson: "With his machines man can dive and remain under water like a shark. He can fly like a hawk in the air, see atoms like a gnat, see the system of the universe of Uriel (angel of the sun), carry whatever loads a ton of coal can lift, knock down cities with his fist of gunpowder. He can recover the history of his race by the medals which the deluge (and every creature, civil or savage or brute) has involuntarily dropped of its existence and divine the future possibility of the planet and its inhabitants by his perception of laws of nature."
