Abstract

The Inward Vision

The article presents information on the book "Midstream," by Helen Keller. This is an autobiographical work like other Keller's work like " The Story of My Life" and "The World I Live In." But through this volume, too, there shines the unconquerable spirit, and the unquenchable determination to enjoy life and to utilize it as much as any normal person. Perhaps the best thing about it all is that Keller has come through to middle age a liberal in spirit. The injustices of the society weigh heavily upon her. Where others in her situation might well feel free to think only of themselves, Keller is ready by word and purse to serve at all times, to bear witness to the breadth and the wisdom of that inward vision of a better world than the one she has faced with such superb courage.
