The days were quiet. They did not feel
particularly quiet or happy but through
them ran the sense, LIKE AN
UNDERGROUND RIVER, that there
would come a time when these days
would be looked back on as
happiness, all that life could give of
contentment and peace.
In the civilized world of reason and
history, however, this poetic moment
is, he asserts, elsewhere, like the
memory of a previous existence, LIKE
AN UNDERGROUND RIVER that
surfaces unexpectedly.
LIKE AN UNDERGROUND RIVER
rippling the stylized surface of the
written page.
Rojas believed what really counted
were the hidden processes shaping
the nation's character and destiny,
such as the blood of Argentina's
indigenous peoples that he believed
flowed LIKE A SUBTERRANEAN
RIVER In the depths of the Argentine
race.
Truth, LIKE AN UNDERGROUND
STREAM, can be stopped up, but
someday will rise to the surface
There runs through Buddhism, LIKE
AN UNDERGROUND RIVER, the
positive, even luminous, religious
experience.
Yet there is nothing surprising about
this approach, once the simile of a text
traveling LIKE AN UNDERGROUND
RIVER takes possession of the
researcher's mind.
Two illicit liaisons and their
consequences provide much of the
continuity which runs LIKE A
SUBTERRANEAN STREAM from the
beginning of the novel to its end.
Here Dilthey shows how Hegel's ideas
had grown out of poetical passion and
suffering equal to that which moves
Holderin's lyrics, and how this origin,
LIKE A SUBTERRANEAN RIVER, still
pulses in the fully developed system.
