The Religion of Rousseau

These are times when men have need of the great solitaries1; for each man now in his moment is a prey2 to the conviction that the world and his deepest aspirations3 are incommensurable. He is shaken by a presentiment4 that the lovely bodies of men are being spent and flaming human minds put out in a conflict for something which never can be won in the clash of material arms, and he is distraught by a vision of humanity as a child pitifully wandering in a dark wood where the wind faintly echoes the strange word 'Peace.' Therefore he too wanders pitifully like that child, seeking peace, and men are become the symbols of mankind. The tragic5 paradox6 of human life which slumbers8 in the soul in years of peace is awakened9 again. When we would be solitary10 and cannot, we are made sensible of the depth and validity of the impulse which moved the solitaries of the past.
The paradox is apparent now on every hand. It appears in the death of the author of La Formation Réligieuse de J.J. Rousseau.[1] One of the most distinguished12 of the younger generation of French scholar-critics, M. Masson met a soldier's death before the book to which he had devoted13 ten years of his life was published. He had prepared it for the press in the leisure hours of the trenches14
