Excerpt from Essays in Retrospect: Collected Articles and Addresses

LD men are supposed to have the privilege, for a reason that I do not pretend to understand, of talk in g about themselves. This privilege I have used in a some what difierent way by reconsidering thoughts that I have expressed at various times during an unusually longcareer, and I have here assembled those essays and addresses which I could not bring myself wholly to destroy. They represent some of the chief interests which I have had for many years poetry, painting, teaching, and, above all, that strange position in which man finds himself in a universe that eludes all comprehension. I now fling them out like the bantlin g on the rocks, to live or die, in the hope that they may not be without some casual interest to those con cerned, like myself, with some of the more significant problems of our little life.
