Paul Bowles Quotes

Looking At Him She Felt She Knew What The People Of Antiquity Had Been Like. Thirty Centuries Or More Were Effaced, And There He Was, The Alert And Predatory Sub-human, Further From What She Believed Man Should Be Like Than The Naked Savage, Because The Savage Was Tractable, While This Creature, Wearing The Armor Of His Own Rigid Barbaric Culture, Consciously Defied Progress. And That Was What Stenham Saw, Too; To Him The Boy Was A Perfect Symbol Of Human Backwardness, And Excited His Praise Precisely Because He Was "pure": There Was No Room In His Personality For Anything That Mankind Had Not Already Fully Developed Long Ago. To Him He Was A Consolation, A Living Proof That Today's Triumph Was Not Yet Total; He Personified Stenham's Infantile Hope That Time Might Still Be Halted And Man Sent Back To His Origins.
