“If you were going forwards, wherever you were going, or thought you were going, and the road, the pathway, whatever led straight into this big pit, what would you do?”
“And the pathway didn’t go round it?”
“No, no. Straight into it.”
“Well what kind of pit is it?”
“Impossible to know. It’s deep anyway, and it’s very dark. You can’t make it out.”
“I suppose I’d take my chances and have myself drop away into it. Progress is everything after all.”
“You wouldn’t turn back?”
“I couldn’t do that. That would be a refutation of everything I believe in.”
“Going forwards?”
“Exactly!”
