Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Heart of the Veld If the chosen soul could never be alone In deep mid-silence, open-doored to God, No greatness ever had been dreamed or done; Among dull hearts a prophet never grew; The nurse of full-grown souls is solitude. J. R. Lowell. A Woman who has lived for many years at a distance of fifty miles from a railway, buried among hills, from whence not even the smoke of a neighbours chimney can be seen, and where one sometimes never sees the face of another white woman for a month at a time, is not without authority for venturing to speak about solitude. It is not the distance from the railway, however, that cuts one off from the rest of the world so much as the bad roads. With good roads and a motor-car the fifty miles would be an advantage in many ways rather than otherwise; but the veld roads are unspeakable.
