Is Life Worth Living?

CHAPTER VIII
32/34

The moral life, it is true, will still exist for him, but it will probably, in literal truth, _Creep on a broken wing Through cells of madness, haunts of horror and fear._ But a state of things like this can hardly be looked forward to as conceivably of any long continuance.

Religion would come back, or conscience would go.

Nor do I think that the future which Dr.Newman seems to anticipate can be regarded as probable either.

He seems to anticipate a continuance side by side of faith and positivism, each with their own adherents, and fighting a ceaseless battle in which neither gains the victory.

I venture to submit that the new forms now at work in the world are not forms that will do their work by halves.
