"... it is always the habit of man to reincarnate his heroes and divinities, so that and Odin tend to become indistinguishable, and Moses is forever reappearing—in our own time as Joseph Smith, Mary Baker G. Eddy and a long series of lesser prophets. No doubt Noah, as a small boy, heard in his school of an Ur-Noah, and played with a toy ark. And the Ur-Noah that he heard of probably had predecessors of his own."
