Présentation de l'éditeur
The Great Voice from the Earth in the Prelude is the voice of the suffering in all life seeking an answer to the enigma of pain. The answer of the Stars is that of science and reason. The Sea symbolises weariness of life, the Wind pessimism and pain, while the voices of the lark and the flower of the field are those of aspiration and humility. The scene of the vision is the summit of A rarat, which was the mount of hope and promise after the desolation of the Deluge in the old story. The play that follows has no historical foundation whatever. I have purposely resisted any temptation towards a realistic representation of the state of mind of a primitive people in a prehistoric age. By so doing I have left myself free to introduce such ideals as seemed to accord with the object of the play. My aim has been to suggest a certain attitude of faith.
