| I was as much of a stranger as the most hopeless castaway stumbling in the dark upon a hut of natives and finding them in the grip of some situation appertaining to the mentalities, prejudices, and problems of an undiscovered country - of a country of which he had not even had one single clear glimpse before. Out from the centre of the sea, poor Pip turned his crisp, curling, black head to the sun, another lonely castaway, though the loftiest and the brightest. The last he wrote was called The Castaway, and the verse with which it ends describes not unfittingly the close of his own life. |
