FIRE :
Fire made man independent of climate, gave him a greater compass on the earth, tempered his tools to hardness and durability, and offered him as food a thousand things inedible before. Not least of all it made him master of the night, and shed animating brilliance over the hours of evening and dawn. Picture the dark before man conquered it; even now the terrors of that primitive abyss survive in our traditions and in our blood, once every twilight was a tragedy, and man crept into his cave at sunset trembling with fear. how good it is to be liberated from our ancient fears!! We shall never be grateful enough for light.
