"So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise and behold a shaking, and the bones came together bone to bone.
"And, lo, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, but there was no breath in them.
"Son of man, prophesy unto the wind. Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these that they may live.
"And the breath came into them and they lived."
To
MY FRIEND OF TWENTY-ONE YEARS,

who, with infinite skill and patience, has breathed the breath of life into the dry bones of Earth's untold ages of upward struggle, who has made them speak of the eternity of their past, and has made them prophesy hope for the eternity to come, this book is dedicated by the author.
