Do, then, dear heart, for heaven shall hear our prayers, Or with our sighs we’ll breathe the welkin dim And stain the sun with fog, as sometime clouds When they do hug him in their melting bosoms.

things. We pragmatists think of moral progress as more like sewing together a very large, elaborate, polychrome quilt, than like getting a clearer vision of something true and deep. Here as elsewhere, we prefer metaphors of breadth and extent to metaphors of height and depth. Convinced that there is no subtle human essence which philosophy might grasp, we do not try to replace superficiality with depth, nor to rise above the particular in order to grasp the universal. Rather, we should like to minimize one difference at a time—the difference between Christians and Muslims in a particular village in Bosnia, the difference between blacks and whites in a particular town in Alabama, the difference between gays and straights in a particular Catholic congregation in Quebec. The hope is to sew such groups together with a thousand little stitches—to invoke a thousand little commonalities between their members, rather than by specifying one great big one, their common humanity.
