"Whatever comes of it after this [in Russia] every one in the worldshould be plainly told of what took place in those first weeks. For itwas a dazzling revelation of the deep, deep powers for brotherhood andfriendliness that lie buried in mankind. I was no dreamer; I was achemist, a scientist, used to dealing with facts. All my life I hadsmiled at social dreams as nothing but Utopias. But in those days I waswholly changed, for I could feel beneath my feet this brotherhood likesolid ground. There is no end to what men can do—for there is no limitto their good will, if only they can be shown the way."
Tarasov, in Ernest Poole's "The Village."
"I am the way ..."
Jesus Christ.
NOTE
These stories are told in the words of Calliope Marsh. Wherever I havemyself intruded a word, it is with apology to her. I chronicle herstories as faithfully as I am able, faults and all, and, through her,the affairs of the village, reflecting in its small pool the people andthe stars.
And always I hear most clearly as her conclusion:
"Life is something other than that which we believe it to be."
