After so many tragic catastrophies had struck his class and his family, Euthanasia the death of the happy descended for the first time since the passing of Lucullus, to close the eyes of a great Roman. There is no better means of giving an idea of the mission of the Roman Empire in the world than to summarise the life and work of this famous personage.
Some of it had to be related earlier in this book to account, so to say, for the way in which Wagner filled up his days; but it will be convenient to summarise it here. Let us begin with a few dates Had studied the Nibelungen saga and sketched the plan of the whole gigantic work much as it now stands. Discusses Siegfried's Death in letters to Uhlig and Liszt.
I will pass over his attempt to combat the rapidly spreading belief in a heaven and hell such as we accept, and will only summarise his contention that, of our two lives namely, the one we live in our own persons, and that other life which we live in other people both before our reputed death and after it the second is as essential a factor of our complete life as the first is, and sometimes more so.
Accordingly the first duty of an expositor in stating a theory in which he disbelieves is to exhibit it as logical. It is not there where his trouble lies. Let me summarise the previously stated objections to this theory of nature.
They had the best time of the lot, for they carried out their explorations in blissful ignorance of the tribulations of Scott, Campbell, Atkinson and myself, whose stories I have tried to summarise. For breezy reading and real bright narrative commend me to Griffith-Taylor. For lightheartedness and good fellowship our Australian geologists should be given first prize.
For the sake of those who are more interested in the adventures of Master Richard and the King than in a medieval priest's surmises as to their respective psychological states, I shall take leave to summarise a few of his remarks and omit the rest.
Conventions, forms, and institutions, after all, represent the corporate wisdom, the accumulated experiences of men throughout the ages. Mysticism is the experience of one. Each does right to test the corporate experience by his own experience. But he must not elevate himself into a law even for himself. That, in a sentence, would summarise the attitude of Judaism towards mysticism.
But on the other hand, I should at any time find it impossible to recall with sufficient clearness to summarise them, any of a dozen American plays of the usual type which I had seen within the preceding six months. Details of incident or of character or of dialogue slip the mind and melt away like smoke into the air.
The discussion of what some particular allusion in Sordello means has gone on so far, and may go on still, but it has it in its nature to end. The life of Robert Browning, who combines the greatest brain with the most simple temperament known in our annals, would go on for ever if we did not decide to summarise it in a very brief and simple narrative.
To summarise; before touching the philosophy which Shaw has ultimately adopted, we must quit the notion that we know it already and that it is hit off in such journalistic terms as these three. Shaw does not wish to multiply problem plays or even problems.
