Excerpt from Flash-Lights From the Seven SeasIt is like a photograph taken in the night. It cannot be clear cut. It cannot have clean outlines. It can only be a blurred mass of humanity with burdens on their shoulders, humanity bent to the ground, creaking carts, weary - eyed children and women, moving, moving, moving, like phantom shadow-shapes, in and out, one great maze through the majestic ages, one confused history of the ancient past, emerging, but not yet out into the sunlight!Such masses of humanity, such dim, uncertain origins of unfathered races, these can only be caught and!
