If those arrangements [dispositions] were to disappear as they appeared, if
some event of which we can at the moment do no more than sense the
possibility... were to cause them to crumble, as the ground of Classical
thought did, at the end of the eighteenth century, then one can certainly
wager that the human would be erased, like a face drawn in sand at the edge
[limite] of the sea (M&C 398; OT 387).
