...Njala is generally esteemed the most perfect of Icelandic Saga. As a work of art, however, Professor Smith thinks it is inferior to the Eigla. The Njal is not like the Eigla, a single picture.

We shall put it into a chain armor of railroad, and then everybody will go everywhere every day, until every place is like every other place; and then when they are tired of changing stations and police they will congregate in knots in great cities, which will consist of club-houses, coffee-houses and newspaper offices; the churches will be turned into assembly rooms; and people will eat, sleep and gamble to their...
