The text on this one of the five panels reads as follows... "DISASTER AND CRISIS WERE ALWAYS ADVERTISED. SETTLEMENT AND TRANQUILLITY SELDOM. ONLY IN RETROSPECT COULD WE SEE THINGS IN THEIR RELATIONS. WHEN WE PASSED FROM THE YEARS TO THE CENTURIES, AND FROM THE CENTURIES TO THE WHOLE EXPANSE OF MAN'S STORY - OUT OF CHAOS AND INTO LIFE, FROM ANIMAL LIFE INTO HUMANITY AND ON INTO CIVILISATION: WHERE WE SAW MAN IN HIS COSMIC SETTING. THE LATEST CHILD OF A UNIVERSE WEDDED TO AN ETERNITY, HIS THOUGHT TRANSCENDING MATTER AND SEEKING DEITY - THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR IGNOBLE DESPAIR: RATHER WOULD OUR MINDS BE FILLED WITH WONDER AND OUR HEARTS WITH THANKFULNESS." The lower piece of text reads as follows... "1st Viscount Samuel".
