...terms, Ghelderode is the antithesis of Brecht. Ghelderode trusted in instinct; Brecht worshiped intellect. Brecht called for a didactic theater of ideology; Ghelderode scorned ideologies and celebrated the theater of magic, spectacle and mystery. He saw all men divided and torn on a Manichaean battleground of darkness and light, flesh and spirit, and he never lost his conviction that they danced at the end of fate's string. If his plays are sometimes episodic and full of antic despair, they also display the probing gallantry of quests. Ghelderode could say with his hero in Christophe Colomb: "Farewell, America...
...Down. Hebron's volunteer firemen were driven back by one explosion. "Through the wreckage and out of the smoke came this man carrying a small child," said Fireman Paul Dickmann. "The man's hair was all burned off, his face was burned, and there appeared to be flesh hanging down from his hand. 'Get to someone who needs help,' he said.

...people in this glass house throw pebbles, not stones, and such damage as they do is not to flesh but to sensibilities. Since the house is tall, stands on the bank of Manhattan's East River and is a monument to international good works, it may be as well to see it as U.N. headquarters. Shirley Hazzard calls it simply the Organization-though she worked at the U.N. for ten years. The characters represent many nations, but, above all, they represent one way of life. What they do and say provides a fictional counterpart to William Whyte...
