We wrangled over a good many ante-mortem outbursts, but I finally got him to cut his obituary down to this, which he copied into his memorandum-book, purposing to get it by heart: "I DIE THAT FRANCE MIGHT LIVE." I said that this remark seemed to lack relevancy; but he said relevancy was a matter of no consequence in last words, what you wanted was thrill.
On this side, in this life, the relevancy of things points not in the slightest towards the immortality of our egotisms, but convergently and overpoweringly to the future of our race, to that spacious future, of which these weak, ambitious Anticipations are, as it were, the dim reflection seen in a shallow and troubled pool. For that future these men will live and die.
Silberer, whose work is endorsed by Freud, has gone to a considerable length in this direction; and the whole tendency of Freud's insistence on the relevancy, in the mental sphere, of the law of the conservation of energy has been a movement, though, I think, a narrow one, in this direction.
We had a long talk afterward, and you said, speaking of the chances people took getting married, that it wasn't me you worried about, but the girl, whoever she might be, who married me." The little gesture she made admitted the recollection, but denied its relevancy. She'd have said something to that effect, but he prevented her. "No," he insisted, "it wasn't just talk. There was something to it.
Professor Harnack, whilst admitting the weight of much of the evidence adduced in these volumes, scornfully refuses to acknowledge its relevancy. "Above all," says he, "Lucian should be struck out. It is obvious that, even according to his own account of the history of his present work, Dr.
By-and-bye, without any relevancy at all, he said abruptly, "If a little sooner she had come aho!" For a moment I could not think what he meant; but soon I saw. "The palace would have been burnt if the girl in scarlet had come sooner eh?" I asked. "She would have urged the people on?" "And Bigot burnt, too, maybe," he answered. "Fire and death eh?" I offered him another pipeful of tobacco.
"Separation, and hopelessness of ever seeing them again, are a torment I find unendurable." "Well, sir," she repeated, but this time with more softness, and with sympathy in the true blue eyes. "Did not your brother lose his wife some two years ago? I was told he did." "He did. But I do not see the relevancy of that to what you have just been saying."
The Westminster Parliament clapped the "agitators" into prison, and while they were at work breaking stones stole their programme.... But I have promised to spare the reader the detailed hideousness of this Inferno, and this section must close without a word said about that miserable triad, famine, eviction, and emigration. What may be called the centre of relevancy lies elsewhere.
Like all that is truly good in literature, it will be seen that this narrative was not for its own time alone, but for the future, and has its relevancy to events of the present day: Now it came to pass in the month June of the Post-office Jubilee, that Raikes, the Postmaster-General, said to himself, Lo! an opening whereby I may find grace in the sight of the Queen!
The process, for it could not be called a trial, consisted of a vast series of rambling and tangled interrogatories reaching over a space of forty years without apparent connection or relevancy, skipping fantastically about from one period to another, back and forthwith apparently no other intent than to puzzle the prisoner, throw him off his balance, and lead him into self-contradiction.
