It was only then that men became first aware that the straight line of the earth's surface was curved, and that a man could return to his starting-point simply by continuing far enough in what appeared to be a straight lien. Why is it not equally sensible to believe that a man might literally regain his second childhood if he could live long enough? It is relatively certain that America was discovered long before Adam...
