Progression "There is no steady unretracing progress in this life; we do not advance through fixed gradations, and at the last one pause: -- through infancy's unconscious spell, boyhood's thoughtless faith, adolescence' doubt, (the common doom), then scepticism, then disbelief, resting at last in manhood's pondering repose of If." -- Herman Melville, Moby Dick File under Stuff That Don't Fit Anywhere Else. 5:50:22 PM
