Hast Thou seen Sorrow and the dull waters of Hopelessness? Hast Thou known Life?" And then all helplessly we peered into those Other-worlds, and wailed, "O World of Worlds, how shall man make you one?" So in that little Oneida school there came to those schoolboys a revelation of thought and longing beneath one black skin, of which they had not dreamed before.
The local other-worlds of these lands bear, as we might have expected, the clear impress of their origin. On the whole the conceptions of the other-world which we meet in Celtic legend are joyous; it is a land of youth and beauty. Cuchulainn, the Irish hero, for example, is brought in a boat to an exceedingly fair island round which there is a silver wall and a bronze palisade.
But it is recorded that he would lift no veils from the Other-worlds. "If you do not understand life," said he, "how can you understand death?" Well; we who are stranded here, each on his desert island of selfhood, thrust out after knowledge: peer for signs at all the horizons; are eager to inquire, and avid of the Unknown which also we imagine to be something outside of our own being.
