...belated run toward greatness. Marriage to the well-dowried Charlotte Payne-Townshend in 1898, when he was already 41, relieved him at last of journalism's curse, the deadline. As if illustrating his own theory of the life force, Shaw hurled himself into writing plays. Man and Superman, Caesar and Cleopatra and Major Barbara are among the choicest products of these years. At their dashing best, the letters read like mini-prefaces to the plays, minor skirmishes in the battle against the bourgeois that was the avowed essence of Shaw's art. Shaw laid down doctrine...

What we need is a clear distinction between authority and power -as in the days of Christ and Caesar before the papacy. We must realize that there are areas of human culture in the imagination, in religious instincts, in the full dimensions of human culture rather than its mere technocratic husk that are important and that have to be affirmed.
