Présentation de l'éditeur
To WALTER GILKYSON, ESQ. My dear Walter :I feel that I owe you a dedication for two reasons: one, because you are a most excellent writer of that keen, sweet thing, the English tongue; and, two, because you have, as a friend, to use the title of one of your own stories, the genius of the illumined moment It is a rare genius; perhaps the rarest there is. You are an escaped Quaker, which gives you perspective and vision and liberation, but you are also a Pennsylvanian, which gives you tradition and balance. You have for these reasons, therefore, the unusual and startling ability of walking straight through a world where the path of thought is thorny with delusion. Or to change the metaphor, you are a prizable Daniel in the midst of sleepy lions.
