No use smashing in the impregnable sea front if we don't get a fresh dose of energy to help us to push into the, as yet, very pregnable hinterland.
His ideal is the individual who lives and acts in the full light of that "self-behind-the-frontage" the "hinterland," as he calls him; and his literary method in this book is to expose the emptiness of the shop-window, to cast his satire upon the poor show.
Speech will end in chatter." These illustrations, picked out at random, will serve to indicate what an intimate companion she made of her Bible, and with what loving patience and insight she studied it for the illumination and deepening of her spiritual life. Eight years had passed since she had left Akpap, and she had never been back, although she had paid flying visits to the hinterland.
Besides, ever since the white man occupied the coast, the immediate hinterland, which used to be full of life, has become more and more barren. Fish is plentiful enough. A few small crops of common vegetables could be grown in many places, and outside supplies are becoming more available.
It is not unreasonable to suppose that medicine may presently arrive at far-reaching generalised convictions, and proceed to take over this great hinterland of human interests which legitimately belongs to it. But medicine is not the only field to which we may reasonably look for a sudden development of wonders.
She knew instinctively that they were getting farther and farther from the region where "nice people" lived. She had never before been in this great city, yet something told her that they were journeying block by block towards the outskirts, the hinterland of the sprawling city. And now she was very near tears. She was sixteen it was the spring of '86.
Green and his men, well furnished presumably with firelocks, bullets, and powder-horns, went into this hinterland. At intervals there followed other hardy folk. Quakers, subject to persecution in old Virginia, fled into these wilds. The name Carolina grew to mean backwoods, frontiersman's land.
Resulting oppositions fragmented civilization: urban vs. rural life, city vs. hinterland; cooperation vs. competition; acquisition and accumulation vs. sharing; riches vs. poverty; the individual vs. the group; status vs. change. These fragmenting forces have been accepted, adopted and given priority by civilizations as they developed predominance.
Also the Lahej sultanate, in a spasm of economy, started disbanding the Arab levies collected for the emergency from the tribes of the remoter hinterland which have supplied fine mercenaries to many oriental sultanates for many centuries.
Will it be possible to arrest the process of disintegration even at this stage? Will not Greece attempt to annex Smyrna and at least a portion of its hinterland, or has she not at least as good a title as any other competitor?
