Synopsis

Excerpt from The Alien: A Story of Middle Age

IT is always cheering to put a quotation that one likes at the beginning of a book. So, at least, one makes sure that one good sentence lives between the two covers.

It is hard enough to some of us, however much we may believe in the ultimate triumph of goodness, to see that it wins; indeed, it often reigns from a painful throne.

Are truth and love strength? Yes, verily. But are they always the strongest? Do they indeed prove stronger than confusion and hate?

In the poem from which my quotation is taken, the curtain falls on desolation and tragedy. So it falls over and over again in life. That mysterious veil behind which mankind has tried so hard to peep, drops on apparent confusion.
