EPILOGUE

A latent power, underlying the preceding lines, arises from the desire and the need for communication. (It is the fashionable term, which replaced the warmly human expression, “communion of persons”.
One of the means used by this communion (when it is done with virtuous intentions) is the dialogue, that is, the expression of a different point of view.
In this country where the dialogue stands on its own feet, it is easy to perceive the melancholic signs of its decline.
If in the annihilating pursuit of our daily life some inner explosion (set off by the many bombs going off all around us) opens up a crack so we are able to meet the other, the seed of the dialogue can again germinate.
Let us hope; because hope is the other powerful latent force in human existence.
