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.
