This
book has a number of themes and the strongest on to me is
hope. I am awed by the human alchemy of hope - how the merest
amount contains power beyond all calculations. At the same
time, some hopes are doomed. Thus the title of this book,
in which the two sides of the great pillar of hope are touched
back and forth to seek its shape, like a blind man at a Roman
temple.
Two other
themes are also addressed. One is interspecies violence -
the violence humans do toward other humans. Can this paradoxically
have survival value? The remaining theme is my relationship
with a literary character I have created: Madame, a personification
of the creative forces of nature. In my heart and my hopes,
Madame is our worldly balance wheel.
