Her Life and Letters were subsequently published by her husband, but the letters proved extremely disappointing to her admirers, and the life was not very illuminative, except as to that docility and capacity for taking colour and pressure from surroundings which have been noticed above. As a poet George Eliot has been noticed elsewhere.
If I had been able to enjoy more of such incidents, I should also have made documents. But my opportunities have been limited. For future historians, the illuminative value of such writing will be incomparable. I suppose I must send the two pieces back to Glen. Which I will do, together with this letter. Let me see what you write.
He thinks sufficiently to concrete his fearless conclusions in illuminative instances. He renders them with that exact knowledge of the means and that absolute devotion to the aim of creating a true effect which is art. He is the most accomplished of narrators.
No less perplexing are the circumstances into which this Queen was drawn by her marital relations and other personal entanglements. Upon all these matters Swinburne sheds light through the medium of a sound critical judgment, in a style no less conspicuous for its fascination than by reason of its illuminative power.
She relieved him from the embarrassing necessity of saying illuminative and eulogistic things about himself and his great work. The book, upon its first publication, was really read by appreciable numbers of persons; later, I think, "Festus Bailey" came to be, to the general mind, an amusing kind of appanage of his own work, which was now taken as read, but ceased to have readers.
II, Essays on the Mother-age Civilisation, etc. Many of the facts given in this chapter are taken from these illuminative essays. K. Pearson, Ibid., p. 102. The Truth about Woman, p. 198. Ibid., pp. 109-110. I cannot leave this subject without emphasising the importance of these erotic-religious festivals, once of universal occurrence.
After all, those who find them troublesome can leave them on one side, without grudging them to the earnest student, who finds them not only illuminative, but absolutely necessary to any clear understanding of the Mysteries of Life and Man.
Now he has advanced to a point where this principle is no longer applicable. The illuminative power of light compels new methods of manipulation.
Long poring in those mournful imbroglios of Dryasdust, where the fraction of living and important welters overwhelmed by wildernesses of the dead and nugatory, one at length disengages this fact; and readers may take it along with them, for it proves illuminative of Friedrich's procedures now and afterwards.
"I know," she continued, "if I may say it, ever so much from books; but I have only the faintest notions of life. Now, isn't that terribly muggy? People and their conditions and circumstances can only be learned by going to the original sources." This was not illuminative. She had only added to his befuddlement and he bent forward, soliciting some more lucid statement of her position.
