Which, in my opinion (and I trust yours), wasthe finest thing they could do.
THE SECTARIAN OF SOCIETY A fixed creed is absolutely indispensable to freedom. For while men areand should be various, there must be some communication between them ifthey are to get any pleasure out of their variety. And an intellectualformula is the only thing that can create a communication that does notdepend on mere blood, class, or capricious sympathy. If we all startwith the agreement that the sun and moon exist..., we can talk about ourdifferent visions of them. The strong-eyed man can boast that he seesthe sun as a perfect circle. The shortsighted man may say (or if he isan impressionist, boast) that he sees the moon as a silver blur. Thecolour-blind man may rejoice in the fairy-trick which enables him tolive under a green sun and a blue moon. But if once it be held thatthere is nothing but a silver blur in one man's eye or a bright circle(like a monocle) in the other man's, then neither is free, for each isshut up in the cell of a separate universe.
