Since it was he who lost the fight,we ought to come again to the conclusion that people are powerless in the world.In reality,we believe the opposite,and it takes the act of the man in the water to remind us of our true feelings in this matter.It is not to say that everyone would have acted as he did,or as Usher,Windsor and Skutnik.Yet whatever moved these men to challenge death on behalf of their fellows is not peculiar to them.Everyone feels the possibility in himself.That is the enduring wonder of the story.That is why we would not let go of it.If the man in the water gave a lifeline to the people gasping for survival,he was likewise giving a lifeline to those who watched him.
The odd thing is that we do not even really believe that the man in the water lost his fight."Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature," said Emerson.Exactly.The man in the water had his own natural powers.He could not make ice storms,or freeze the water until it froze the blood.But he could hand life over to a stranger,and that is a power of nature too.The man in the water set himself against an immovable,impersonal enemy; he fought it with kindness; and he held it to a standoff.He was the best we can do.
