Is there much a creature as an Indian? There may be, but I have not found it.
An Indian pure and simple is rare as a griffin or an Assyran bull.
How should it be otherwise? The Indian is not a person, but a patchork. Indeed, he
riminds me of Ibsen`s famour openion-one layer, then another, then another, and finally,nothing.
It is the peeling of the various layers that causes much trouble. Each layer tell its own tale and, what is unbelievable, is not part of an organic whole. The result is that the so-called Indian is the most contrdictory of a persons. He s perpetually at war wiht himself.
