For the great distances of this world are the fractional ones, the terrific differences are those we can measure by a hand, a step, a few short inches, and that shut us completely from the world we see, the life we love, the room, the door we want to enter, as if we saw them from the star-flung planetary distances of bridgeless and unmeasured vacancy. Yes, that world we see and want is even more remote from us than Mars, for it is almost ours at every instant, intolerably near and warm and palpable and intolerably far because it is so very near--only a foot away if we could utter, find, and enter it--and we are lashed on by our fury and devoured by our own hunger, captives in the iron and impregnable wall of our own loneliness.  \nTo be a giant, to be one of those legendary creatures two miles high in the old stores--that is another thing. For a giant lives in his own world and needs and wants no other: he takes a mountain at a stride, drinks off a river in one gulp of thirst, wanders over half a continent in a day, and then comes home at night todine in friendship with his fellow Titans, using a shelf of mountain for a table, a foothill as a stool, and the carcasses of whole roast oxen as the dainty morsels of his feast.  \nAnd to be a giant in a world of pygmy men--to be a mile high creature in a world of foot-high men--that is also another thing. For sometimes his huge single eye is blinded by their cunning, he will make the mountains echo with his wounded cries, tear up a forest in his pain and fury and will lash about him with an oak tree, and hurl ten-ton boulders torn from granite hills after the little shops of terror stricken men.  \nHe wakes at morning in a foreign land, his ship wrecked, his comrades drowned, and he forsaken: a regiment of tiny creatures are swarming up across  \nhis body, they shoot their tiny arrows at his face and bind him down with countless weavings of a thread-like cord, and the terrific legend of his life among the pygmies becomes the instrument by which another giant whipped the folly, baseness, and corruption in the lives of men with the scorpion lash of the most savage allegory ever written.  \nAnd to be a pygmy in a world of pygmy men, that is also another thing. For where we all are inches tall, our size is only measured by proportion. We live elfclose and midget-near the earth, and desperately explore the tropic jungle of the daisy fields while monstrous birds--huge buzzing flies and booming bees and tottering butterflies--unfurl the enormous velvet sails of their slashed wings as they soar over us. We think we are as tall, as big, as strong as any men that ever lived, if thinking, seeing, makes it so, and in our three-inch world our corn and wheat is good but is no higher than the grass.
