Starting from Tilbury on the Thames is quite a fitting place from which to take ship for a journey to the Radiant East, especially when, the time is November and when the river is shut in by a freezing fog. The Spot is benumbing and without sentiment, but it has some interest by contrast. It is the grey curtain hanging before the brilliant scenes of the play.
