They’d seem to you an optimism too easily arrived at in the light of the daily news; but more and more (under the shadow of Whitehead’s philosophy—Christian—Platonic) I see a long-time, a planetary curve and that I cling to. . . . I have decided that the human race as a whole can be given the benefit of the doubt; and the set-backs of one year and one decade and one century no longer completely obscure the sky. But I hate Hitler and the Spanish rebels.18
