Throughout his distinguished literary career, Patrick White believed Western civilisation was dying because of the tensions the Enlightenment created within the Eestern imagination. In testing this belief, inherited from Spengler, he explored "the disturbing marriage between life and imagination". He gave most of his protagonists a horizon from Western religious experience: pre-classical or Dionysian, classical or Apollonian, Jewish, or Christian. Their given horizon determines how they're able, or unable, to relate to self or world or other, and their life is lived out according to its logic.
