Over a very large period of time, I think that the total data recorded by Charles Fort from around the world may prove of great scientific worth. Above all this there is something extremely inspiring about Fort’s interest in his Universe. His interest is very romantic. It isn’t written in romantic terms at all, but man is full of dreams-- dreams of significance. Fort was in love with the world that jilted him. Fort, as humanity was looking for significance in experience. Fort is becoming increasingly popular with the university students who all around the world are looking for significance. Billions of young people are in love with a world whose complexity seems to be trying to jilt them. I don’t think their love will be unrequited. Fort’s superb humor and tenderness are communicated with economically telling skill is rarely equalled.
