THE SIXTH SENSE
PROLOGUE
LONDON AFTER TWENTY YEARS
"As when a traveller, bound from North to South,
Scouts fur in Russia: what's its use in France?
In France spurns flannel: where's its need in Spain?
In Spain drops cloth, too cumbrous for Algiers!
Linen goes next, and last the skin itself,
A superfluity at Timbuctoo.
When, through his journey was the fool at ease?
I'm at ease now, friend; worldly in this world,
I take and like its way of life; I think
My brothers who administer the means,
Live better for my comfort—that's good too;
And God, if he pronounce upon such life,
Approves my service, which is better still."
Robert Browning: "Bishop Blougram's Apology."
