Where, I wonder, are the Greats of Islam, those wise ones who in a fore time spoke directly to the face of G-D? Have they been all driven into hiding by the maddened mob? What mountain must I climb, what sea must I cross to find them? Truly, there are none to be found in the world. Men are maddened beasts like dogs tearing at a bone for scraps of meat. There is no peace in them.
