n, now you have seen us, and your outward eyes have learned that
in spite of all the infallible maxims of your day there is yet a time of
rest in store for the world, when mastery has changed into fellowship--but
not before. Go back again, then, and while you live you will see all
round you people engaged in making others live lives which are not their
own, while they themselves care nothing for their own real lives--men who
hate life though they fear death. Go back and be the happier for having
seen us, for having added a little hope to your struggle. Go on living
while you may, striving, with whatsoever pain and labour needs must be,
to build up little by little the new day of fellowship, and rest, and
happiness."
Yes, surely! and if others can see it as I have seen it, then it may be
called a vision rather than a dream.
FOOTNOTES:
{1} "Elegant," I mean, as a Persian pattern is elegant; not like a rich
"elegant" lady out for a morning call. I should rather call that
genteel.
{2} I should have said that all along the Thames there were abundance of
mills used for various purposes; none of which were in any degree
unsightly, and many strikingly beautiful; and the gardens about them
marvels of loveliness.
{3} Cirencester and Burford he must have meant.
