The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay: only right and wrong. What arises from right or wrong action does
not matter. We are not gods, constructing a world, but simple men
and women, doing our immediate duty. We may die in Sant - so you
have seen it; but the truth will go on living."
"Spadevil, why do you choose Sant to start your work in?" asked
Maskull. "These men with fixed ideas seem to me the least likely of
any to follow a new light."
"Where a bad tree thrives, a good tree will flourish. But where no
tree at all can be found, nothing will grow."
"I understand you," said Maskull. "Here perhaps we are going to
martyrdom, but elsewhere we should resemble men preaching to cattle."
