What an exciting thought! In writing this dramatic fragment - and those few others which have been finished - the aim was to present the views of the people written about directly - largely in their own words - and my own indirectly. It is unwise to write certain ideas directly, because one can not state them, merely the ghost of them. If there were a sentence that began "I believe", the result would not be the belief, but the belief of the belief. Never the less, to take a hazard - beauty and morality are both recognition of pattern - and by contemplating that which is obvious to the conscious senses, perhaps we can come to better understand that which is understood only through the conscience sensing.
