No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that
this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater
than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied them-selves
about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps
almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the
transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water
With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about
their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over
matter.
It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same.
No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human
danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as
impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits
of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be
other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a
missionary enterprise.
Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to
those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and
unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely
drew their plans against us...
