Excerpt from Woman and the Race
Those who are looking for Truth, who follow her, footsore and buffetted,
Through devious ways and into the wilderness,
Disdaining alike the pain of personal wounds and the scorn of those who pass by,
Are likely, from their very vehemence and indifference to martyrdom,
To die violent social deaths.
This is not a misfortune.
Since the earliest life of man the death or disgrace of the few
Has purchased Truth for the unseeing many.
Let it be so; we have no quarrel with the scheme of things.
The millions of the majority will continue to cry: "Crucify!"
While they profit by the riches that fall from the men at whom they hoot.
And Jesus and Galileo turn upon them looks of gentleness
And words of pitying parable,
And continue their communing with the Unknown, serene and unmoved;
For they know, as all seekers after Truth know at last,
That at the bottom of all her mysteries, lies Love.
