You were picked for your job because you were a xenophobe. It helps in your proper functioning. But this Plumie is here under a flag of truce " "Flag of truce!" snarled Taine. "It's vermin! It's not human! I'll " "If you move one inch nearer him," said Baird gently, "just one inch " The skipper's voice bellowed through the general call speakers all over the ship: "Mr. Taine!
It is no longer true, as a whole generation of writers has believed, that art and science may be one and the same thing; or that the first, as Taine has said, may be an "anticipation of the second." We could not in the presence of our fellow-creatures and their suffering affect the indifference of a naturalist before the plant or the animal he is studying.
As weapons officer, I intend to take the Plumie ship, let out its air, fill its tanks with our air, start up its drive, and turn it over to you for navigation back to base!" Baird raged. But he said coldly: "We're a long way from home, Mr. Taine, and the Dirac pusher drive is slow.
Finally, Taine treats the subject methodically, by studying the nature of the image and its primitive character of hallucination. At present, I think, there is no psychologist who does not regard as proven that the image, when it enters consciousness, has two moments.
"And it doesn't bother you in your work?" "It helps me," he declared thinking of that portrait of Mrs. Taine. "Oh, I am glad, glad!" she cried. "I wanted it to help. It was for that I played." "You played to help me?" he asked wonderingly. She nodded. "I thought it might if I could get enough of the mountains into my music, you know." "And will you dance for me, sometimes too?" he asked.
But, after all, was the Oxford which contained Pater, Pattison, and Bywater, which had nurtured Matthew Arnold and Swinburne Swinburne with his wonderful knowledge of the intricacies and subtleties of the French tongue and the French literature merely "solide and positif," as Taine declares?
When he had finished, he handed his letter to the older man, who read: Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the 13th, inst., enclosing your check in payment for the portrait of Mrs. Taine; I appreciate your generosity, but cannot, now, accept it. I find, upon further consideration, that the portrait does not fully satisfy me.
In accordance with my plan to become a teacher, I determined to go to the bottom of the laws which govern literary development, and so with an unexpurgated volume of Taine, a set of Chambers' Encyclopædia of English Literature, and a volume of Greene's History of the English People, I set to work to base myself profoundly in the principles which govern a nation's self-expression.
Every one recognizes to-day that "certain poets like Dante and Shakspere, certain composers like Beethoven and Mozart, hold the foremost place in their art." So Taine insisted, adding that this foremost place is also "accorded to Goethe, among the writers of our century; to Rembrandt among the Dutch painters; to Titian among the Venetians."
When they meet other men, they'll be cagey because they'll remember Taine. But they'll know they can make friends, because we did them a favor when we'd nothing to gain by it. I can offer no reward. But I ask for volunteers to go outside and cut the Plumie ship loose, so the Plumies can go home in safety instead of on into the sun with us!" He glared, and cut off the image.
