Page:Race Life of the Aryan Peoples Vol 1.djvu/12

 what the Aryan man has lived—how he has subdued the wild and waste lands—how he has made the desert to blossom as the rose—how he has built up empire with ax and plow, and has sailed the unknown paths of the seas;—these are his true race epic. The others are only as the fairy tales which old wives tell to their children. We read between the lines of the written epic to find the truer and greater epic which lies beyond.

This book is an attempt to unfold somewhat of the race epic which the Aryan peoples have lived
