HG Wells on Wilson at Versailles:

For a brief interval, Wilson stood alone for mankind. And in that brief interval there was a very extraordinary and significant wave of response to him throughout the earth. So eager was the situation that all humanity leapt to accept and glorify Wilson--for a phrase, for a gesture. He ceased to be a common statesman; he became a Messiah.
