The Witheringtons and the children of the Barretts
Here Kingsley is preaching a sermon on Col. 1.19-20 and he offers a quote from Checkov’s play The Wood Demon—-
“The world perishes not because of murderers and thieves, but from hidden hatred, from hostility among good people, from all these petty squabbles, unseen by those who call our home a haven of intellectuals. Do help me to reconcile everyone! Alone I cannot do it!….First reconcile me to myself!”
