There is nothing new under the sun. The coming generation passes under the yoke of the same old law of being, beginning again the same old task as did its predecessor; and its individ- ual work in the sum of things is speedily for- gotten, nor does it add to the pile anything that can be noted or named. You recall that gentle, kindly old lama, in Kipling's novel of " Kim, " whose soul was so dizzied and depressed by the great wheel of life to which he felt himself bound, and who made lifelong p...ilgrimage and search to get free from it. At its outset, as we note, our book enters that same vein of Buddhistic imagination; figuring life as a restless rotation, returning evermore on itself, with no residuum of achievement or increased vital store to show for its revolution, and no clearly ascertainable progress. This, we may say, is the first report of the Hebrew imagination, when once it tran- scends national bounds and looks upon its tread- mill regime of law from a cosmic point of view. We shall note the reason of this feeling later.
