It must be remembered, however, that then and in the lifetime of Columbus
Greenland was supposed to–be a promontory of the coast of Europe, and
was not connected in men”s minds with a western continent. Its early
discovery has no bearing on the significance of Columbus”s achievement,
the greatness of which depends not on his having been the first man from
the Old World to set foot upon the shores of the New, but on the fact
that by pure faith and belief in his own purpose he did set out for and
arrive in a world where no man of his era or civilisation had ever before
set foot, or from which no wanderer who may have been blown there ever
returned. It is enough to claim for him the merit of discovery in the
true sense of the word. The New World was covered from the Old by a veil
of distance, of time and space, of absence, invisibility, virtual
non-existence; and he discovered it.
