victory Gin

[Terrance]

Winston thinks it is quite possible that the drunken prole shrew may
well be the silent, dignified lady who was his mother long ago: "it was
possible that people changed somewhat after twenty years in a forced
labor-camp." Gee, Doug, I thought this would be something you would
comment on. With Big Brother, so saying goes, all things are possible.
SO maybe, by some secular miracle perhaps, the foul mouthed vomiting
prole was once the grave, stately lady. The cellars of Miniluv sing the
glory of the New God. 

But in the novel, as here on P-L, it is in the disciples' fanaticism
that the Power of the New creed is most obvious, most impressive. No
Oedipa to wait, O'Brian has been touched by the holy fires. Fools at the
transfiguration. The great face of the mystic. 

"Above all, we do not allow the dead to rise up against us" and thus
christ and shakespeare are not and never were persons. humanism is Dead.
Here, old fellow, some victory gin.
