What a shock to the whole vast world when my friend saw this enormous crowd, almost like a pyramid, because were I at the top and he at the bottom, it couldn’t really be an arena, besides this great amphitheater. How could it be? I should be down at the bottom, addressing the crowd. But here, I was at the top, the apex, addressing this crowd almost like a great tournament. And they’re all seated, and I’ll seek to be heard. But only a few will rise, only a few have the courage to claim I am right.1084 ¶38
