Your personal background.
Nous sommes des nains juchés sur les épaules de géants ; nous voyons plus qu'eux, et plus loin ; non que notre regard soit perçant, ni élevée notre taille, mais nous sommes élevés, exhaussés, par leur stature gigantesque.
We are as dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more things than they, and things at a greater distance, not at any rate by virtue of sharpness of sight on our part, or any physical excellence, but because we are assisted and lifted up by their giant size.
