The Story of the Atlantic Telegraph
·
Henry M. Field
3
Twelve
years
of
unceasing
toil
was
the
price
the
Atlantic
Telegraph
cost
its
projector;
and
not
years
lighted
up
by
the
assurance
of
success,
but
that
were
often
darkened
with
despair:
years
in
which
he
was
restlessly
crossing
and
recrossing
the
ocean,
only
to
find
on
either
side,
worse
than
storms
and
tempests,
an
incredulity
which
sneered
at
every
failure,
and
derided
the
attempt
as
a
delusion
and
a
dream.
Against
such
discouragements
nothing
could
prevail
but
that
faith,
or
fanaticism,
which,
believing
the
incredible,
achieves
the
impossible.
Such
a
tale,
apart
from
the
results,
is
in
itself
a
lesson
and
an
inspiration.
