Like a prisoner who dreams that he is free, starts tosuspect that it is merely a dream, and wants to go ondreaming rather than waking up, so I am content toslide back into my old opinions; I fear being shaken outof them because I am afraid that my peaceful sleep maybe followed by hard labour when I wake, and that Ishall have to struggle not in the light but in theimprisoning darkness of the problems I have raised.
