For until that arrives the creative forces must inevitably spend themselves very largely in blind alleys, futile rushes and destructive conflicts. Upon that our two minds were agreed. "We have," said Gidding, "to understand and make understanding. That is the real work for us to do, Stratton, that is our job.
There presently Gidding joined us and we began to work out the schemes we had made in America, the schemes that now fill my life. It was in the early spring of 1909 that I had a letter from Mary. By that time my life was set fully upon its present courses, Gidding and I had passed from the stage of talking and scheming to definite undertakings.
I find it now impossible to trace the phases by which I reached these broad ideas upon which I rest all my work, but certainly they were present very early in my discussions with Gidding. We two men had been thinking independently but very similarly, and it is hard to say just what completing touches either of us gave to the other's propositions.
Oh, there's Emma Norton just come in! That must be her father. That's Alice Gidding, she comes to our Sunday class, and do you know, she thought it was Joseph who was put into the den of lions. Has not her mother got a funny head? 'Hush now, Val. Here they come, as the whole chorus trooped in and began the 'Men of Harlech.
"I don't know whether you will remember me," he said, "but perhaps you remember Crete in the sunrise." "And no end of talk afterwards," I said, grasping his hand, "no end for we didn't half finish. Did you have a good time in Egypt?" "I'm not going to talk to you about Egypt," said Gidding. "I'm through with ruins. I'm going to ask you you know what I'm going to ask you."
Amongst others, not long after Mr. Ferrar's death, a treatise was addressed to the Parliament, entitled, "The Arminian Nunnery, or a brief description and relation of the late erected monastical place called the Arminian Nunnery at Little Gidding in Huntingdonshire: humbly addressed to the wise consideration of the present parliament.
"The defection," he wrote, "is so great of those who sometime professed the truth, that where hundreds came to several churches before, there resort now scarce six; the gathering and flocking in great numbers of Jesuits, seminary priests, friars, and gidding Papists of all sorts are so frequent from Rome and all parts beyond the seas, that it seems to him the greatest lading the ships bring to this country are burdens of them, their books, clothes, crosses, and ceremonies; natives and others in corporate towns publicly profess themselves their maintainers.
These great truths, once asserted, could not but conquer; and they will conquer to the end. All attempts to restore the monastic and feminine ideal, like that of good Nicholas Ferrar at Little Gidding, failed.
The foundation is by a company of Ferrars at Gidding," printed by Thomas Underbill, 1641. Soon after Mr. Ferrar's death, certain soldiers of the Parliament resolved to plunder the house at Gidding.
And ruins of something just as good as anything we're doing to-day. Better in some ways. It takes the heart out of you...." It was Gidding, who is now my close friend and ally. I remember very vividly the flavor of morning freshness as we watched Crete pass away northward and I listened to his talk.
