“
It
was
better
that
you
should
go
on
thinking
it
only
a
simple
,
natural
thing
,
”
Angus
said
.
“
And
as
to
natural
,
what
IS
natural
and
what
is
not
?
Man
has
not
learned
all
the
laws
of
nature
yet
.
Nature
’
s
a
grand
,
rich
,
endless
thing
,
always
unrolling
her
scroll
with
writings
that
seem
new
on
it
.
They
’
re
not
new
.
They
were
always
written
there
.
But
they
were
not
unrolled
.
Never
a
law
broken
,
never
a
new
law
,
only
laws
read
with
stronger
eyes
.
”
Angus
and
I
had
always
been
very
fond
of
the
Bible
—
the
strange
old
temple
of
wonders
,
full
of
all
the
poems
and
tragedies
and
histories
of
man
,
his
hates
and
battles
and
loves
and
follies
,
and
of
the
Wisdom
of
the
universe
and
the
promises
of
the
splendors
of
it
,
and
which
even
those
of
us
who
think
ourselves
the
most
believing
neither
wholly
believe
nor
will
understand
.
We
had
pored
over
and
talked
of
it
.
We
had
never
thought
of
it
as
only
a
pious
thing
to
do
.
The
book
was
to
us
one
of
the
mystic
,
awe
-
inspiring
,
prophetic
marvels
of
the
world
.
That
was
what
made
me
say
,
half
whispering
:
“
I
have
wondered
and
wondered
what
it
meant
—
that
verse
in
Isaiah
:
‘
Behold
the
former
things
are
come
to
pass
and
new
things
do
I
declare
;
before
they
spring
forth
I
tell
you
of
them
.
’
Perhaps
it
means
only
the
unrolling
of
the
scroll
.
”
“
Aye
,
aye
!
”
said
Angus
;
“
it
is
full
of
such
deep
sayings
,
and
none
of
us
will
listen
to
them
.
”
“
It
has
taken
man
eons
of
time
,
”
Hector
MacNairn
said
,
thinking
it
out
as
he
spoke
—
“
eons
of
time
to
reach
the
point
where
he
is
beginning
to
know
that
in
every
stock
and
stone
in
his
path
may
lie
hidden
some
power
he
has
not
yet
dreamed
of
.
He
has
learned
that
lightning
may
be
commanded
,
distance
conquered
,
motion
chained
and
utilized
;
but
he
,
the
one
CONSCIOUS
force
,
has
never
yet
begun
to
suspect
that
of
all
others
he
may
be
the
one
as
yet
the
least
explored
.
How
do
we
know
that
there
does
not
lie
in
each
of
us
a
wholly
natural
but
,
so
far
,
dormant
power
of
sight
—
a
power
to
see
what
has
been
called
The
Unseen
through
all
the
Ages
whose
sightlessness
has
made
them
Dark
?
Who
knows
when
the
Shadow
around
us
may
begin
to
clear
?
Oh
,
we
are
a
dull
lot
—
we
human
things
—
with
a
queer
,
obstinate
conceit
of
ourselves
.
”
“
Complete
we
think
we
are
,
”
Angus
murmured
half
to
himself
.
“
Finished
creatures
!
And
look
at
us
!
How
many
of
us
in
a
million
have
beauty
and
health
and
full
power
?
And
believing
that
the
law
is
that
we
must
crumple
and
go
to
pieces
hour
by
hour
!
Who
’
d
waste
the
time
making
a
clock
that
went
wrong
as
often
?
Nay
,
nay
!
We
shall
learn
better
than
this
as
time
goes
on
.
And
we
’
d
better
be
beginning
and
setting
our
minds
to
work
on
it
.
‘
Tis
for
us
to
do
—
the
minds
of
us
.
And
what
’
s
the
mind
of
us
but
the
Mind
that
made
us
?
Simple
and
straight
enough
it
is
when
once
you
begin
to
think
it
out
.
The
spirit
of
you
sees
clearer
than
we
do
,
that
’
s
all
,
”
he
said
to
me
.
“
When
your
mother
brought
you
into
the
world
she
was
listening
to
one
outside
calling
to
her
,
and
it
opened
the
way
for
you
.
”
At
night
Hector
MacNairn
and
his
mother
and
I
sat
on
the
terrace
under
stars
which
seemed
listening
things
,
and
we
three
drew
nearer
to
one
another
,
and
nearer
and
nearer
.
“
When
the
poor
mother
stumbled
into
the
train
that
day
,
”
was
one
of
the
things
Hector
told
me
,
“
I
was
thinking
of
The
Fear
and
of
my
own
mother
.
You
looked
so
slight
and
small
as
you
sat
in
your
corner
that
I
thought
at
first
you
were
almost
a
child
.
Then
a
far
look
in
your
eyes
made
me
begin
to
watch
you
.
You
were
so
sorry
for
the
poor
woman
that
you
could
not
look
away
from
her
,
and
something
in
your
face
touched
and
puzzled
me
.
You
leaned
forward
suddenly
and
put
out
your
hand
protectingly
as
she
stepped
down
on
to
the
platform
.
