   • 1886, Arthur Conan Doyle, Cyprian Overbeck Wells. A Literary Mosaic:

     “‘To tell you that the eternities beget chaos, and that the immensities are at the mercy of the divine ananke. Infinitude crouches before a personality. The mercurial essence is the prime mover in spirituality, and the thinker is powerless before the pulsating inanity.
