The Destiny of the West: A Prophecy by Owen Barfield

AQQ

"I believe it lies in the destiny of the West, not to abandon but rather to intensify its concern with history; not to abandon its interest in the past of mankind, and of the world, but to deepen its understanding of both."

Owen Barfield, "Dream, Myth, and Philosophical Double Vision," in J. Campbell, Myths, Dreams, and Religion (Dallas: Spring Publications, 1970), p. 217.
