I speak of the Christian religion, and no one need be astonished. The Church in the colonies is the white people's Church, the foreigner's Church. She does not call the native to God's ways but to the ways of the white man, of the master, of the oppressor. And as we know, in this matter many are called but few chosen Picture Quote #1

In the colonial context the settler only ends his work of breaking in the native when the latter admits loudly and intelligibly the supremacy of the white man's values Picture Quote #1

Of course, fairies are all imported in North America. We have no native fairies. The little people do not long survive importation - unless they go to California and grow large and beautiful, but haven't much flavor, like the fruit and the film stars Picture Quote #1

When at eve, at the bounding of the landscape, the heavens appear to recline so slowly on the Earth, imagination pictures beyond the horizon an asylum of hope - a native land of love; and nature seems silently to repeat that man is immortal Picture Quote #1

We sometimes talk as if original research were a peculiar prerogative of scientists or at least of advanced students. But all thinking is research, and all research is native, original, with him who carries it on, even if everybody else in the world already is sure of what he is still looking for Picture Quote #1
