Fresh Voyages

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Rabindra N ath tagore has aptly expressed my feelings when the pen did not fall from my hand (see Veil, p. 158) and new country invited my little ship to explore its wonders. I know that my opponents will think this an illusion, but years of sedulous quest of discoveries cannot have been spent on self-deceit, and my foes may by, this time be beginning to ask whether they have not carried their Opposition to undoubted originality much too far. The Indian poet gives thanks in 'new melodies' for not having been reduced 'to take shelter in silent obscurity.' There are, I also know, those who think it kind ness to exhort me to Silence. But they have hardly justified their exhortation to me by them selves entering ou new tracks; the last ten years have not, so far as I am aware, produced a single brilliantly original work on the text and contents of the Old Testament emanating from the professional champions of so-called sobriety and moderation.
