Excerpt from The Celt and the World: A Study of the Relation of Celt and Teuton in History
The catastrophe which has befallen Europe has turned men's minds to history. This book is not history or a philosophy. It is only suggestive that the foam of history is too often mistaken for the waves. It is calming to look from "history in the making" to history that is already made - from seething smoke to settled dust. If hope in the future is clouded and charity excluded in the present, the baffled optimist must renew his faith in the destiny of the white man out of the past. To those who realise the huge disaster, history can offer some suggestion if little consolation. As drowning men visualise their past lives in the moment of death, so tradition and history flash before the nations of Europe in their agony.

Excerpt from The Celt and the World: A Study of the Relation of Celt and Teuton in History
For the time, and long to come, all must seem disaster. Hate and horror glut the maelstrom. Kings and Caesars are locked in blood. The Pope is unheard. The law, moral, spiritual, or international, is in sus pense. Historians must endeavour to un weave the far-reaching webs out of which disaster has been spun. The past must be thought out generously, and feud, noism, confusion be replaced by clarity, sanity, and charity. In the heavens there may be no visible sign save the winking stars, but let all who believe in rational religion endeavour to allay the effects of the Great Disaster and meet half-way the suggestions inspired by a Providence, which has only too clearly made the earth a trust unto mankind.
