Excerpt from Some Modern French Writers a Study in Bergsonism
What fate does the future hold in store for him! Only our grandchildren can answer that question. Still, it is permissible to foretell the future, or even, in the pragmatist's way, to make it.
If we questioned Bergson himself on this point, he would tell us that his doctrine, like every product of the human brain, is a progressive thing, by no means perfect nor complete nor absolute. I am only a man; therefore you must not ask me for more than I can give. I have merely tried to get into close touch with that nature which always eludes us. For the riches of nature are inexhaustible things do not begin, nor do they end, nor are they as we see them, nor as we should wish them to be.
