When one speaks of humanity, the idea is fundamental that this is something which seperates and distinguishes man from nature. In reality, however, there is no such seperation: "natural" qualities and those called truly "human" are inseparably grown together. Man, in his highest and noblest capacities, is wholly nature and embodies its uncanny dual character. Those of his abilities which are terrifying and considered inhuman may even be the fertile soil out of which alone all humanity can grow in impulse, deed, and work.
