The theatre consists of two things, que diable of the stage and the drama, and I don't see how you can have it unless you have both, or how you can have either unless you have the other. They are the two blades of a pair of scissors. Auberon. You are very unfair to native talent. There are lots of strictly original plays Amicia. Yes, they put that expression on the posters. Auberon.
If your children are fighting each other, at least those who win are your children. Other kings have distributed justice, you have distributed life. Other kings have ruled a nation, you have created nations. Others have made kingdoms, you have begotten them. Look at your children, father!" and he stretched his hand out towards the enemy. Auberon did not raise his eyes.
I desire all men to witness that I, Auberon, King of England, do here and now abdicate, and implore the Provost of Notting Hill to permit me to enlist in his army. Give me a halberd!" He seized one from some passing guard, and, shouldering it, stamped solemnly after the shouting columns of halberdiers which were, by this time, parading the streets.
Can anything be more absurd than to hear people discussing the conception of a part of which the execution doesn't exist the idea of a character which never arrives at form? Think what it is, that form, as an accomplished actor may give it to us, and admit that we have enough to do to hold him to this particular honor. Auberon.
It is not often that he needs to protect himself among his subjects." Barker turned to him with frantic gestures. "For God's sake don't back up the madman now," he implored. "Have your joke another time. Oh, for Heaven's sake " "My Lord Provost of South Kensington," said King Auberon, steadily, "I do not follow your remarks, which are uttered with a rapidity unusual at Court.
Dorriforth. I'm too ambitious, you mean? I shall presently show you that I'm not ambitious at all. Everything makes against that I am only reading the signs. Auberon. The plays are arranged to be as English as possible: they are altered, they are fitted. Dorriforth. Fitted? Indeed they are, and to the capacity of infants. They are in too many cases made vulgar, puerile, barbarous.
There's such a diversity in our idea of amusement. Auberon. Don't you impute to people more ideas than they have? Dorriforth. Ah, one must do that or one couldn't talk about them. We go to be interested; to be absorbed, beguiled and to lose ourselves, to give ourselves up, in short, to a charm. Florentia. And the charm is the strange, the extraordinary. Amicia. Ah, speak for yourself!
"When you conceived the idea," went on Wayne, dreamily, "of an army for Bayswater and a flag for Notting Hill, there was no gleam, no suggestion in your mind that such things might be real and passionate?" "No," answered Auberon, turning his round white face to the morning with a dull and splendid sincerity; "I had none at all." Wayne sprang down from the height above him and held out his hand.
It was Karl Marx, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, Cunninghame Grahame, Bernard Shaw and Auberon Herbert, who between them, with bowed gigantic backs, bore up the throne of the Archbishop of Canterbury. We may say broadly that free thought is the best of all the safeguards against freedom.
Dorriforth. Auberon hates generalizations. Nevertheless I make bold to say that we go to the theatre in the same spirit in which we read a novel, some of us to find one thing and some to find another; and according as we look for the particular thing we find it. Auberon. That's a profound remark. Florentia. We go to find amusement: that, surely, is what we all go for. Amicia.
