Excerpt from The Column of Dust
The dangers of curiosity
"O Loveless, Hateless!... past the sense
Of kindly-eyed benevolence,
To what tune danceth this Immense?"
Hardy: The Dynasts.
I Choose for the first act of my comedy the spectacle of a complete freedom cruelly mated with an unquenchable curiosity. Such a liberty, clearly impossible to those who are fettered by the illusions of sense, is no natural prerogative even of the intangible and spiritual populations. Constrained by the unceasing pull and push of that love which moves the worlds, these are drawn forward to the joys of a selfless adoration, or downward to the weary miseries of individual self-fulfilment: those eternally opposing attitudes which an old-fashioned and clear-sighted theology has crudely classified as Heaven and Hell.
This is the story of a being - a thing - a spirit, if you will - who loved nothing, and therefore was free.
