Wherefore I will tell thee that whereof thou askest and dost question me. 'There is a certain isle called Syria, if haply thou hast heard tell of it, over above Ortygia, and there are the turning-places of the sun. It is not very great in compass, though a goodly isle, rich in herds, rich in flocks, with plenty of corn and wine.
A vague sense of desolateness, of the turning-places of life, as real to children as to older folk, seemed to press suddenly down upon all three of us. Ours was not the ordinary child-life even of that day. And that was a time when children had no world of their own as they have to-day. Whatever developed men and women became a part of the younger life training as well.
Here I take the bull by the horns, and in spite of the whole crew of rationalists and monists, of whatever brand they be, I ask WHY NOT? Our acts, our turning-places, where we seem to ourselves to make ourselves and grow, are the parts of the world to which we are closest, the parts of which our knowledge is the most intimate and complete. Why should we not take them at their face-value?
Why may they not be the actual turning-places and growing-places which they seem to be, of the world why not the workshop of being, where we catch fact in the making, so that nowhere may the world grow in any other kind of way than this? Irrational! we are told. How can new being come in local spots and patches which add themselves or stay away at random, independently of the rest?
