“A brooding love which is at most
The stealth of moonbeams when they slide,
O’er some scarce-breathing breast or side...”
when his attention was attracted by a sound from outside. He looked down from his window; there they were, Anne and Gombauld, talking, laughing together. They crossed the courtyard in front, and passed out of sight through the gate in the right-hand wall. That was the way to the green close and the granary; she was going to sit for him again. His pleasantly depressing melancholy was dissipated by a puff11 of violent emotion; angrily he threw his quatrain into the waste-paper basket and ran downstairs. “The stealth of moonbeams,” indeed!
In the hall he saw Mr. Scogan; the man seemed to be lying in wait. Denis tried to escape, but in vain. Mr. Scogan’s eye glittered like the eye of the Ancient Mariner12.
“Not so fast,” he said, stretching out a small saurian hand with pointed13 nails—“not so fast. I was just going down to the flower garden to take the sun. We’ll go together.”
Denis abandoned himself; Mr. Scogan put on his hat and they went out arm in arm. On the shaven turf of the terrace Henry Wimbush and Mary were playing a solemn game of bowls. They descended14 by the yew-tree walk. It was here, thought Denis, here that Anne had fallen, here that he had kissed her, here—and he blushed with retrospective shame at the memory—here that he had tried to carry her and failed. Life was awful!
“Sanity15!” said Mr. Scogan, suddenly breaking a long silence. “Sanity—that’s what’s wrong with me and that’s what will be wrong with you, my dear Denis, when you’re old enough to be sane16 or insane. In a sane world I should be a great man; as things are, in this curious establishment, I am nothing at all; to all intents and purposes I don’t exist. I am just Vox et praeterea nihil.”
Denis made no response; he was thinking of other things. “After all,” he said to himself—“after all, Gombauld is better looking than I, more entertaining, more confident; and, besides, he’s already somebody and I’m still only potential...”
“Everything that ever gets done in this world is done by madmen,” Mr. Scogan went on. Denis tried not to listen, but the tireless insistence17 of Mr. Scogan’s discourse18 gradually compelled his attention. “Men such as I am, such as you may possibly become, have never achieved anything. We’re too sane; we’re merely reasonable. We lack the human touch, the compelling enthusiastic mania19. People are quite ready to listen to the philosophers for a little amusement, just as they would listen to a fiddler or a mountebank20. But as to acting21 on the advice of the men of reason—never. Wherever the choice has had to be made between the man of reason and the madman, the world has unhesitatingly followed the madman. For the madman appeals to what is fundamental, to passion and the instincts; the philosophers to what is superficial and supererogatory—reason.”
They entered the garden; at the head of one of the alleys22 stood a green wooden bench, embayed in the midst of a fragrant23 continent of lavender bushes. It was here, though the place was shadeless and one breathed hot, dry perfume instead of air—it was here that Mr. Scogan elected to sit. He thrived on untempered sunlight.
“Consider, for example, the case of Luther and Erasmus.” He took out his pipe and began to fill it as he talked. “There was Erasmus, a man of reason if ever there was one. People listened to him at first—a new virtuoso24 performing on that elegant and resourceful instrument, the intellect; they even admired and venerated25 him. But did he move them to behave as he wanted them to behave—reasonably, decently, or at least a little less porkishly than usual? He did not. And then Luther appears, violent, passionate26, a madman insanely convinced about matters in which there can be no conviction. He shouted, and men rushed to follow him. Erasmus was no longer listened to; he was reviled27 for his reasonableness. Luther was serious, Luther was reality—like the Great War. Erasmus was only reason and decency28; he lacked the power, being a sage29, to move men to action. Europe followed Luther and embarked30 on a century and a half of war and bloody31 persecution32. It’s a melancholy story.” Mr. Scogan lighted a match. In the intense light the flame was all but invisible. The smell of burning tobacco began to mingle33 with the sweetly acrid34 smell of the lavender.
“If you want to get men to act reasonably, you must set about persuading them in a maniacal35 manner. The very sane precepts36 of the founders37 of religions are only made infectious by means of enthusiasms which to a sane man must appear deplorable. It is humiliating to find how impotent unadulterated sanity is. Sanity, for example, informs us that the only way in which we can preserve civilisation38 is by behaving decently and intelligently. Sanity appeals and argues; our rulers persevere39 in their customary porkishness, while we acquiesce40 and obey. The only hope is a maniacal crusade; I am ready, when it comes, to beat a tambourine41 with the loudest, but at the same time I shall feel a little ashamed of myself. However”—Mr. Scogan shrugged42 his shoulders and, pipe in hand, made a gesture of resignation—“It’s futile43 to complain that things are as they are. The fact remains44 that sanity unassisted is useless. What we want, then, is a sane and reasonable exploitation of the forces of insanity45. We sane men will have the power yet.” Mr. Scogan’s eyes shone with a more than ordinary brightness, and, taking his pipe out of his mouth, he gave vent46 to his loud, dry, and somehow rather fiendish laugh.
“But I don’t want power,” said Denis. He was sitting in limp discomfort47 at one end of the bench, shading his eyes from the intolerable light. Mr. Scogan, bolt upright at the other end, laughed again.
“Everybody wants power,” he said. “Power in some form or other. The sort of power you hanker for is literary power. Some people want power to persecute48 other human beings; you expend49 your lust50 for power in persecuting51 words, twisting them, moulding them, torturing them to obey you. But I divagate.”
“Do you?” asked Denis faintly.
“Yes,” Mr. Scogan continued, unheeding, “the time will come. We men of intelligence will learn to harness the insanities52 to the service of reason. We can’t leave the world any longer to the direction of chance. We can’t allow dangerous maniacs53 like Luther, mad about dogma, like Napoleon, mad about himself, to go on casually54 appearing and turning everything upside down. In the past it didn’t so much matter; but our modern machine is too delicate. A few more knocks like the Great War, another Luther or two, and the whole concern will go to pieces. In future, the men of reason must see that the madness of the world’s maniacs is canalised into proper channels, is made to do useful work, like a mountain torrent55 driving a dynamo...”
Mr. Scogan waved away the interruption. “There’s only one thing to be done,” he said. “The men of intelligence must combine, must conspire57, and seize power from the imbeciles and maniacs who now direct us. They must found the Rational State.”
The heat that was slowly paralysing all Denis’s mental and bodily faculties58, seemed to bring to Mr. Scogan additional vitality59. He talked with an ever-increasing energy, his hands moved in sharp, quick, precise gestures, his eyes shone. Hard, dry, and continuous, his voice went on sounding and sounding in Denis’s ears with the insistence of a mechanical noise.
“In the Rational State,” he heard Mr. Scogan saying, “human beings will be separated out into distinct species, not according to the colour of their eyes or the shape of their skulls60, but according to the qualities of their mind and temperament61. Examining psychologists, trained to what would now seem an almost superhuman clairvoyance62, will test each child that is born and assign it to its proper species. Duly labelled and docketed, the child will be given the education suitable to members of its species, and will be set, in adult life, to perform those functions which human beings of his variety are capable of performing.”
“How many species will there be?” asked Denis.
“A great many, no doubt,” Mr. Scogan answered; “the classification will be subtle and elaborate. But it is not in the power of a prophet to go into details, nor is it his business. I will do more than indicate the three main species into which the subjects of the Rational State will be divided.”
He paused, cleared his throat, and coughed once or twice, evoking in Denis’s mind the vision of a table with a glass and water-bottle, and, lying across one corner, a long white pointer for the lantern pictures.
“The three main species,” Mr. Scogan went on, “will be these: the Directing Intelligences, the Men of Faith, and the Herd63. Among the Intelligences will be found all those capable of thought, those who know how to attain8 a certain degree of freedom—and, alas64, how limited, even among the most intelligent, that freedom is!—from the mental bondage65 of their time. A select body of Intelligences, drawn66 from among those who have turned their attention to the problems of practical life, will be the governors of the Rational State. They will employ as their instruments of power the second great species of humanity—the men of Faith, the Madmen, as I have been calling them, who believe in things unreasonably67, with passion, and are ready to die for their beliefs and their desires. These wild men, with their fearful potentialities for good or for mischief68, will no longer be allowed to react casually to a casual environment. There will be no more Caesar Borgias, no more Luthers and Mohammeds, no more Joanna Southcotts, no more Comstocks. The old-fashioned Man of Faith and Desire, that haphazard69 creature of brute70 circumstance, who might drive men to tears and repentance71, or who might equally well set them on to cutting one another’s throats, will be replaced by a new sort of madman, still externally the same, still bubbling with a seemingly spontaneous enthusiasm, but, ah, how very different from the madman of the past! For the new Man of Faith will be expending72 his passion, his desire, and his enthusiasm in the propagation of some reasonable idea. He will be, all unawares, the tool of some superior intelligence.”
Mr. Scogan chuckled73 maliciously74; it was as though he were taking a revenge, in the name of reason, on enthusiasts75. “From their earliest years, as soon, that is, as the examining psychologists have assigned them their place in the classified scheme, the Men of Faith will have had their special education under the eye of the Intelligences. Moulded by a long process of suggestion, they will go out into the world, preaching and practising with a generous mania the coldly reasonable projects of the Directors from above. When these projects are accomplished76, or when the ideas that were useful a decade ago have ceased to be useful, the Intelligences will inspire a new generation of madmen with a new eternal truth. The principal function of the Men of Faith will be to move and direct the Multitude, that third great species consisting of those countless77 millions who lack intelligence and are without valuable enthusiasm. When any particular effort is required of the Herd, when it is thought necessary, for the sake of solidarity78, that humanity shall be kindled79 and united by some single enthusiastic desire or idea, the Men of Faith, primed with some simple and satisfying creed80, will be sent out on a mission of evangelisation. At ordinary times, when the high spiritual temperature of a Crusade would be unhealthy, the Men of Faith will be quietly and earnestly busy with the great work of education. In the upbringing of the Herd, humanity’s almost boundless81 suggestibility will be scientifically exploited. Systematically82, from earliest infancy83, its members will be assured that there is no happiness to be found except in work and obedience84; they will be made to believe that they are happy, that they are tremendously important beings, and that everything they do is noble and significant. For the lower species the earth will be restored to the centre of the universe and man to pre-eminence on the earth. Oh, I envy the lot of the commonality in the Rational State! Working their eight hours a day, obeying their betters, convinced of their own grandeur85 and significance and immortality86, they will be marvellously happy, happier than any race of men has ever been. They will go through life in a rosy87 state of intoxication88, from which they will never awake. The Men of Faith will play the cup-bearers at this lifelong bacchanal, filling and ever filling again with the warm liquor that the Intelligences, in sad and sober privacy behind the scenes, will brew89 for the intoxication of their subjects.”
“And what will be my place in the Rational State?” Denis drowsily90 inquired from under his shading hand.
Mr. Scogan looked at him for a moment in silence. “It’s difficult to see where you would fit in,” he said at last. “You couldn’t do manual work; you’re too independent and unsuggestible to belong to the larger Herd; you have none of the characteristics required in a Man of Faith. As for the Directing Intelligences, they will have to be marvellously clear and merciless and penetrating91.” He paused and shook his head. “No, I can see no place for you; only the lethal92 chamber93.”
Deeply hurt, Denis emitted the imitation of a loud Homeric laugh. “I’m getting sunstroke here,” he said, and got up.
Mr. Scogan followed his example, and they walked slowly away down the narrow path, brushing the blue lavender flowers in their passage. Denis pulled a sprig of lavender and sniffed94 at it; then some dark leaves of rosemary that smelt95 like incense96 in a cavernous church. They passed a bed of opium97 poppies, dispetaled now; the round, ripe seedheads were brown and dry—like Polynesian trophies98, Denis thought; severed99 heads stuck on poles. He liked the fancy enough to impart it to Mr. Scogan.
“Like Polynesian trophies...” Uttered aloud, the fancy seemed less charming and significant than it did when it first occurred to him.
There was a silence, and in a growing wave of sound the whir of the reaping machines swelled100 up from the fields beyond the garden and then receded101 into a remoter hum.
“It is satisfactory to think,” said Mr. Scogan, as they strolled slowly onward102, “that a multitude of people are toiling103 in the harvest fields in order that we may talk of Polynesia. Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay. Let us be duly thankful for that, my dear Denis—duly thankful,” he repeated, and knocked the ashes out of his pipe.
Denis was not listening. He had suddenly remembered Anne. She was with Gombauld—alone with him in his studio. It was an intolerable thought.
“Shall we go and pay a call on Gombauld?” he suggested carelessly. “It would be amusing to see what he’s doing now.”
He laughed inwardly to think how furious Gombauld would be when he saw them arriving.
