“EMILY: Tell me, Henri, as a truth-loving philosopher—wouldn't you gladly resign from the human race if only there was another one to belong to?

“One day the thought hit me—could the whole story of the Jews in Egypt have simply been a poem? More or less like Homer describing magical cattle, and ravenous women and so on? Ancient peoples saw no difference between a vivid description of marvels and what we call reality—for them the description itselfwasthe reality. In short, the Jews may never have been literally enslaved in Egypt; or perhapssomehad been, but the story as we know it may have been largely fictional, an overwhelmingly powerful act of imagination.”
