Excerpt from A Spiritual Aeneid
And if in the course of this book I quote too freely, as I have quoted just now, from the poem which is its title, it is because the Aeneid travelled with me in the last two months before the end of my journey, and I read it, as Christians used to, with something like a demand for spiritual comfort.

Excerpt from A Spiritual Aeneid
This book is a religious autobiography. The matter of it is not original, and (I thank God) the conclusion of it is not original either. But, so long as minds differ, there must always be some difference in the most hackneyed of pilgrimages, as the pilgrims compare notes at the Confessio.
I have tried to avoid all references that could be damaging to anybody but myself; if and where I have failed, I must take this opportunity to ask forgiveness. The publishing of autobiographies by the obscure is always, in any case, a target for criticism; but even obscure things have an interest; let us call it an autobiology. And before you say "self-advertisement" - think, what a bad advertisement.
In explanation of the Aeneid-motif which runs through the chapter-headings and parts of the book, I had perhaps better give the key to a somewhat obvious set o Symbols. Troy is undisturbed and in a sense unreflective religion; in most lives it is over thrown, either to be rebuilt or to be replaced. The Greeks are the doubts which overthrow it. The "miniature Troy" of Helenus is the effort to reconstruct that religion exactly as it was. Carthage is any false goal that, for a time, seems to claim finality. And Rome is Rome.
