WHAT is it that changes the world? Events? Ideas? or men? Not mere
inhuman events, certainly. An earthquake, even of Messina; a
volcanic eruption, even of Mont Pelee; the sinking of a, Titanic,
do not jerk the globe off its axis. Doubtless the advent or
recession of a Glacial Period; the depression of a continent below
sea-level or its reappearance would alter history; but these
processes are too gradual or too wholesale to be given, in its
ordinary sense, the name "event." Therefore, not just the
cannon-ball at the bygone siege, of which we shall have to tell,
is, half-jestingly, to be offered as the cause of that tremendous
influencing of the world's history we aro to speak of, though it
had its rebound from the battered wall never wounded Don Inigo of
Loyola, who can foresee his career Ideas, then? That is far nearer
truth. It was the ideas set sailing down the wind by a Rousseau,
for instance, which, far rather than any grinding tax or
aristocratic privilege, settled maddeningly in men's brains, and
bred the Revolution?
