Excerpt from The Unitarian Review and Religious Magazine, 1875, Vol. 3 I have said that the tragic collision is a collision of wills.

The man seems to be self-directed and controlled, but really he is the play of the great powers that are behind him and working through him. He is the bubble on the stream. You look at it and cry, How wildly it hurries on, how gaily it dances, how madly it whirls, -nay, it is a bubble, that is all. It is the black stream below that drives it and whirls it along its way.
