about the affairs of the universe would be interesting。 But until they
give me opportunity to write about matters that are not…me; the world
must go on uninstructed and unreformed; and I can only do my best with
the one small subject upon which I am allowed to discourse。
In 〃The Chant of Darkness〃 I did not intend to set up as a poet。 I
thought I was writing prose; except for the magnificent passage from Job
which I was paraphrasing。 But this part seemed to my friends to separate
itself from the exposition; and I made it into a kind of poem。
