But with all his transcendental virtuosity the Welsh painter is never academic; he is often rank in his expression of humanity, human, all-too-human, as Nietzsche would have said. But aside from his powerful personality and remarkable craftsmanship, who is there that can't be matched by our own men? There are no landscapists like ours is it necessary to count them off name by name?
And now here he was tripped up again by his all-too-human capacity for emotion as at Jaipur. The comparison jerked him. The two experiences, like the two women, had almost nothing in common. The charm of Arúna with its Eastern mingling of the sensuous and spiritual was a charm he intimately understood. It combined a touch of the earth with a rarefied touch of the stars.
Any kind of cognizance of an indescribable excess in the joy of the bath, any kind of ardour or thirst which perpetually impels the soul out of night into the morning, and out of gloom, out of "affliction" into clearness, brightness, depth, and refinement: just as much as such a tendency DISTINGUISHES it is a noble tendency it also SEPARATES. The pity of the saint is pity for the FILTH of the human, all-too-human.
Naked have I seen both of them, the greatest man and the smallest man: All-too-similar are they still to each other. Verily, even the greatest found I all-too-human! Thus spake Zarathustra. With thunder and heavenly fireworks must one speak to indolent and somnolent senses. But beauty's voice speaketh gently: it appealeth only to the most awakened souls.
This short plunge into the jungle was a relief, after the all-too-human experiences of Taranto.

It is bounded on the west by the river Sinnc, and I imagine the place has not changed much since the days when Keppel Craven explored its recesses.
