...always, Shaw enjoyed himself. He trotted out a string of British and Irish influencers whom most of the critics had never heard of or never deigned to bother with. But high up on Shaw's eccentric list was eccentric Samuel Butler (1835-1902), novelist and creative evolutionist. "It drives one almost to despair," snapped Shaw, "when one sees so extraordinary a study of English life as Butler's posthumous Way of All Flesh making so little impression that when I produce plays in which Butler's extraordinarily fresh, free, and future-piercing suggestions have an obvious share...

...there is one point that might bother him a little. And this is the fact that the spiral had already begun to twist into a conservative period in 1946, according to several of his own standards for determining such things; so now it has either doubled back or jumped way up ahead, depending on how you want to look at it. And no matter how you look at it, to change the metaphor back again, pendulums don't change their minds...
