New Cradle
Chloe, with youngster in tow, is strolling across campus when she bumps into her friend
Dylan. “Hi,” she says. “You must be coming from class.”
“Yes, I am,” he says. “Social psychology. And who is the little one?”
“This is my niece Ashley. She was three last month. Ashley, say Hi to Dylan. We’re
heading over to the campus day-care center. Do you want to join us?”
“Sure,” he says. “At least as far as the cafeteria.”
“You know, kids are really a kick in the pants,” she says. “That’s why my heart goes out
to a same-sex couple I know.”
“And why is that?” Dylan asks.
“They’re trying to adopt a baby, but the only adoption agency in this small town refuses
to help them because the agency is religiously affiliated. I’m talking about the New Cradle
agency. Those people at New Cradle think same-sex marriage is sinful.”
“Well, in light of this religious freedom legislation that’s been coming down the pike
lately, the people at New Cradle may be within their rights.”
“How is that?” Chloe asks.

“It goes like this,” he says. “If religious freedom is a right, then the people at New Cradle have a
right to practice it as they choose. And if they have a right to practice it as they choose, then if
they think same-sex marriage violates their religion, then they can refuse to help same-sex
couples adopt a baby. Now religious freedom is a right and those people think same-sex
marriage violates their religion. Hence they can refuse to help same-sex couples adopt a baby.”

“But wait just a minute,” Chloe says. “New Cradle is engaged in a commercial activity,
just like a restaurant, and some of its babies come from out of state. So I would offer you this
argument. If New Cradle receives government support or is engaged in interstate commerce,
then if it discriminates against same-sex couples, then it violates those couple’s civil rights. Now
if New Cradle refuses to help same-sex couples adopt, then it discriminates. New Cradle is
engaged in interstate commerce and it refuses to help same-sex couples adopt. Thus, New
Cradle violates those couples civil rights.”

“I can see that New Cradle faces a dilemma,” Dylan replies. “If it helps same-sex
couples adopt a baby, then it will violate its own principles; but if it does not help them, then it
will violate constitutional principles. And if New Cradle abandons its own principles, then it
will close up shop and lay off its employees. But New Cradle will never lay off its employees,
and it will either help same-sex couples adopt a baby or not help them. Therefore, New Cradle
will violate constitutional principles.”

“Another point we must not forget,” Chloe adds, “is that same sex couples now have the
right to marry. And if that is the case, they have a right to raise a family. And if they have a
right to raise a family and they have good parenting skills, then if New Cradle can refuse to help
them adopt a baby, then religion is misappropriated and the public good is subverted. Same-sex
couples do have good parenting skills, and the public good will not be subverted. Therefore,
New Cradle cannot refuse to help them adopt a baby.”

“I think you’re right, says Dylan, “that equality plays a big role in this issue. Our country
is based on the principle of equality. If straight couples have a right to the services of an
adoption agency, and obviously they do, then either same-sex couples have such a right or they
are not equal to straight couples. And if same-sex couples have a right to the services of an
adoption agency, then New Cradle must change its policy and other religiously affiliated
agencies must do the same. Now if our country is based on the principle of equality, then same-
sex couples are equal to straight couples. Thus, as you say, New Cradle must change its policy.”

“Yet,” Dylan continues, “up till now we’ve said nothing about the welfare of the baby
who will be adopted. If New Cradle helps same-sex couples adopt a baby, then it’s important
that the baby grow up well adjusted. But if the baby is to be well adjusted, then it must have
both a male role model and a female role model. If the parents are both men, then the baby will
not have a female role model. If they are both women, then it will not have a male role model.

“I think your reasoning is a bit shortsighted,” Chloe replies. “Let’s suppose a same-sex
couple adopts a baby. If a same-sex couple adopts a baby, then the parents will be either both
men or they will be both women. This much I grant you. But if they are both men, then surely
they will have close female friends. And if that is so, then there will be both male and female
role models. If the parents are both women, then surely they will have close male friends. And
if that is so, then there will be both male and female role models. If there are both male and
female role models, then the baby will be well adjusted. And if the baby will be well adjusted,
then New Cradle should help with the adoption. Thus, the conclusion follows, that New Cradle
should help with the adoption.”

Exercise 7.3, V
“Interesting point,” Dylan says. “But I wonder if those surrogate role models would be
as effective as male and female parents. Anyway, here’s where I get off. See you again soon, I
hope.”
“Yeah, me too, says Chloe.”
“Bye-bye, Ashley. It was nice meeting you.”
“G’bye,” she says, waving her hand.

SUMMER HOLIDAYS.
At length the long vacation, which the good Alma Mater allows for the
refreshment of the minds and bodies of her dear children, came to set
Wordsworth at liberty; and, in the summer of 1788, he revisited his native
scenes at Esthwaite. The old cramp of University life, with its dissipations,
and frivolous pleasures, fell from him like an evil enchantment, the first
moment when he beheld the bed of Windermere,
The poet then describes the refreshing influence which Nature spread,
like a new element of life, over his spirit, and quotes even the time and place
—viz., one evening at sunset, when taking his first walk, these long months,
round the lake of Esthwaite, when his soul
whilst a comfort seemed to “touch a heart that had not been disconsolate;”
and “strength came where weakness was not known to be—at least not felt.”
Then he took the balance, and weighed himself:
“Conversed with promises, had glimmering views
How life pervades the undecaying mind;
How the immortal soul, with godlike power
Informs, creates, and thaws the deepest sleep
That time can lay upon her; how on earth
Man, if he do but live within the light
Of high endeavours, daily spreads abroad,
His being armed with strength that cannot fail.”
Here was evidence that the soul of the poet was settling down, if we may
say so, to something like repose, preparatory to the grand aim and purpose of
his life. He begins to see that idleness and pleasure will not last—will not
serve any end in the world; and that man must be a worker, with high
endeavours, if he is indeed to be or do anything worthy of a man.—And this
light breaking in upon him, through the twilight of Nature and his own soul,
is soothing, consolatory, and hopeful to him. He begins, likewise, to take a
fresh interest in the daily occupations of the people around him; read the
opinions and thoughts of these plain living people, “now observed with
clearer knowledge;” and saw “with another eye” “the quiet woodman in the
woods,” and the shepherd roaming over the hills. His love for the grey-
headed old dame returns to him again and again in these latter pages of the
“Prelude,” and he pictures her as a dear object in the landscape, as she goes
to church,
“Companionless,
No dog attending, by no staff sustained,
He stood, and in his very dress appeared
A desolation, a simplicity,
To which the trappings of a gaudy world
Make a strange back-ground.”
Wordsworth now came from his hiding place, and hailed the poor, lone,
desolate, old man, who rose, slowly, from his resting place,
The poet entered into conversation with him, and asked him to relate his
history. It was the old tale—told with a quiet uncomplaining voice, a stately
air of mild indifference. He had served in the Tropic islands, and on landing,
three weeks ago, he had been dismissed the service. He was now journeying
homeward, to lay his weary bones in the churchyard of his native village.
Wordsworth was touched at the uncomplaining misery of the poor old man,
and invited him to go with him. The veteran picked up his staff from the
shadowy ground, and walked by the poet’s side down into the valley, where
a hospitable cottage was soon found, and the soldier bestowed for the night.
On leaving him, Wordsworth
“entreated that, henceforth,
He would not linger in the public ways,
But ask for timely furtherance and help,
Such as his state required.”
And now, mark the touching reply of the friendless old man:
where the river Lowther flows into the Emont, which descends from the lake
of Ullswater through a beautiful and fertile valley, in which at the village of
Sockbridge, some of Wordsworth’s ancestors lived, and where, at the church
of Burton, some of them lie buried. That “monastic castle” is Brougham
Castle, a noble and picturesque ruin. This was a favourite resort of the
youthful poet and his sister.
In aftertimes this castle was to be the subject of one of his noblest lyrical
effusions. “The Song at the Feast of Brougham Castle.”
“High in the breathless hall the minstrel sate,
And Emont’s murmur mingled with the song.”
A little beyond the castle, by the roadside, stands the Countess’ Pillar, a
record of filial affection, and Christian charity to which also he has paid a
poetical tribute; and the woods of Lowther, at a short distance on the south,
were ever associated in his memory with the delightful days which he passed
in his vacations at Penrith, and were afterwards the scene of intellectual
enjoyment in the society of the noble family whose name they bear.”
A remarkable man, and one connected by friendship with the poet, lived
between Penrith and Lowther, at Yanwath. This was Mr. Thomas Wilkinson
“a quaker, a poet, a professor of the topiarian art, a designer of walks,
prospects, and pleasure grounds.
‘Spade! with which Wilkinson hath till’d his land,
And shap’d these pleasant walks by Emont’s side,’
and the verses which follow, will hand down the name of Wilkinson to
posterity, together with that of John Evelyn, and the Corycian old man of
Virgil.”
Wordsworth’s last college vacation was spent in a pedestrian tour in
France, along with his friend Robert Jones, of Plas-yn-llan, near Ruthin, in
Denbighshire. De Quincy thinks that the poet took Jones along with him as a
kind of protective body-guard, against the rascality of foreign landlords, who
in those days were apt to play strange tricks upon travellers, presenting their
extortionary bills with one hand, whilst they held a cudgel in the other, to
enforce payment. De Quincy, however, is not quite sure of this, but
conjectures the fact to have been so, because Wordsworth has only
apostrophised him in one of his poems commencing
From Chamouny they returned to Martigny, and went from thence, along
the Rhine, to Brig, where, quitting the Valais, they made for the Alps, which
they crossed at Simplon, and visited the Lake Como, in Italy. Wordsworth’s
description of the scenery round Como, is in his highest manner:—
“The banks,” he says, “of many of the Italian and Swiss lakes are so steep
and rocky as not to admit of roads; that of Como, is partly of this character.
A small footpath is all the communication by land between one village and
another, on the side along which we passed for upwards of thirty miles. We
entered upon this path about noon, and owing to the steepness of the banks,
were soon unmolested by the sun, which illuminated the woods, rocks, and
villages of the opposite shore. The lake is narrow, and the shadows of the
mountains were early thrown across it. It was beautiful to watch them
travelling up the side of the hills—for several hours, to remark one-half of a
village covered with shade, and the other bright with the strongest sunshine.
It was with regret that we passed every turn of this charming path, where
every new picture was purchased by the loss of another, which we should
never have been tired of gazing upon. The shores of the lake consist of
steeps, covered with large sweeping woods of chestnut, spotted with
villages, some clinging upon the summits of advancing rocks, and others,
hiding themselves in their recesses. Nor was the surface of the lake less
interesting than its shores; half of it glowing with the richest green and gold,
the reflection of the illuminated wood and path, shaded with a soft blue tint.
The picture was still further diversified by the number of sails which stole
lazily by us, as we passed in the wood above them. After all this, we had the
moon. It was impossible not to contrast that repose, that complacency of
spirit, produced by these lovely scenes, with the sensations I had
experienced two or three days before in passing the Alps. At the lake of
Como my mind ran through a thousand dreams of happiness, which might be
enjoyed upon its banks, if heightened by conversation, and the exercise of
the social affections. Among the more awful scenes of the Alps, I had not a
thought of man, or a single created being; my whole soul was turned to Him,
who produced the terrible majesty before me.” From Como the tourists
proceeded to the country of the Grisons; from thence to Switzerland, and the
lakes Lucerne, Zurich, Constance, and the falls of the Rhine. At Basle, a
town in Switzerland, upon the Rhine, they bought a boat, and floated down
that glorious river, which, as Longfellow says, “rolls through his vineyards,
like Bacchus, crowned and drunken,” as far as Cologne, returning home by
Calais.
In passing the Alps, the travellers lost their way, and were benighted.
They were afterwards indebted for their safety to a peasant; and in speaking
of this event, the poet has the following fine passage in the “Prelude:”—
“The melancholy slackening that ensued
Upon these tidings by the peasant given,
Was soon dislodged. Downwards we hurried fast,
And with the half-shaped road which we had missed,
Entered a narrow chasm. The brook and road
Were fellow-travellers in this gloomy strait,
And with them did we journey several hours,
At a slow pace. The immeasurable height
Of woods decaying, never to be decayed,
The stationary blasts of waterfalls,—
And in the narrow rent, at every turn
Winds thwarting winds, bewildered and forlorn,
The torrents shooting from the clear blue sky,
The rocks that muttered close upon our ears,
Black drizzling crags that spake by the wayside,
As if a voice were in them; the sick sight
And giddy prospect of the raving stream,
The unfettered clouds, and region of the Heavens,
Tumult and peace, the darkness of the light—
Were all like workings of one mind, the features
Of the same face, blossoms upon one tree;
Characters of the great Apocalypse,
The types, and symbols of eternity,
Of first, and last, and midst, and without end.”
This is poetry; and with the exception of the Arab and Dromedary
passage, is certainly the finest in the “Prelude.”
After the completion of this tour, Wordsworth was urged by his friends to
take holy orders; but he was not of age for ordination, nor was his mind
sufficiently imbued with love for the clerical functions at this time, even had
he been of age, to have induced him to have assumed them. A Mr. Robinson
offered him the curacy of Harwich, whilst he was in Wales, and the curacy
was the high way to the Living. But from the above circumstances, and other
motives of an active and political nature, the offer was declined, and his non-
age was the apology. The truth is, that Wordsworth, like all the young,
enthusiastic, and highly-gifted men of that time, was filled with the grand
idea of liberty, and the hope of further enfranchisement from old forms of
error and superstition, which France had raised upon the theatre of her soil.
And accordingly, in November, 1791, he determined to cross the channel,
and winter in Orleans, that he might watch the progress of events. He had at
this time a very imperfect acquaintance with the French language, and set
out on his journey alone. In that same month, France was in the convulsions
of her first agony—her first birth-pangs of Revolution. “The National
Assembly met; the party of Madame Roland and the Brissotins were in the
ascendant; the war of La Vendee was raging; the army was in favour of a
constitutional monarchy; Dumourier was Minister of the Exterior; a German
army was hovering on the French frontier; popular sedition was fomented by
the Girondists, in order to intimidate the government, and overawe the
Crown. In the following year, 1792, the sanguinary epoch of the Revolution
commenced; committees of public safety struck terror into the hearts of
thousands; the king was thrown into the prison of the Temple; the massacres
of September, perpetrated by Danton and his associates, to daunt the
invading army and its adherents, deluged Paris with blood; the Convention
was constituted; monarchy was abolished; a rupture ensued between the
Gironde and the Montagne; Robespierre arose; Deism was dominant; the
influence of Brissot and of the Girondists was on the decline; and in a short
time they were about to fall victims to the power which they themselves had
created.”[F]
Such is a summary of the events which transpired whilst Wordsworth was
in France; and he has left us a record of the hopes, and wild exultations with
which he hailed the Revolution, when it first boomed above the horizon of
the morning.
But, alas! the counterpart of the picture came as suddenly, not attended by
the sweet breathings of a delicious music, but by the roar of mad and fiery
throats, and the pageantry of blood and death. Before these dread events took
place, and whilst hope was still high in the poet’s heart, he made
acquaintance with some of the most distinguished personages on the
republican side—and, amongst others, with General Beaupuis, whom he
characterises as a philosopher, patriot, and soldier, and one of the noblest
men in France. At length, he stands in the midst of the Revolution; quits
Orleans for Blois, and, in 1792, arrived in Paris, only a month after the
horrors and massacres of September. Republicanism had prevailed—and
what a republic it proved! All law and order suspended, or dead—thousands
of innocent and patriotic men condemned to death on the faintest suspicions
—the ghastly skeleton of Atheism seated on the throne of God—and liberty
strangled in her own cradle. “What a picture,” says De Quincy, “does
Wordsworth give of the fury which then possessed the public mind; of the
frenzy which shone in every eye, and through every gesture; of the stormy
groups assembled at the Palais Royal, or the Tuilleries, with ‘hissing
factionists,’ for ever in their centre? ‘hissing,’ from the self-baffling of their
own madness, and incapable, from wrath, of speaking clearly; of fear already
creeping over the manners of multitudes; of stealthy movements through
back streets; plotting and counter-plotting in every family; feuds to
extermination—dividing children of the same house for ever; scenes, such as
those of the Chapel Royal (now silenced on that public stage), repeating
themselves daily amongst private friends; and to show the universality of
this maniacal possession—that it was no narrow storm discharging its fury,
by local concentration, upon a single city, but that it overspread the whole
realm of France—a picture is given, wearing the same features of what
passed daily at Orleans, Blois, and other towns. The citizens are described in
the attitudes they assumed at the daily coming in of the post from Paris; the
fierce sympathy is pourtrayed with which they echoed back the feelings in
the capital; men of all parties had been there up to this time—aristocrats as
well as democrats, and one, in particular, of the former class, is put forward
as a representative of this class. This man, duly as the hour arrived that
brought the Parisian newspapers, read, restlessly, of the tumults and insults
amongst which the Royal Family now passed their days; of the decrees by
which his own order were threatened or assailed; of the self-expatriation,
now continually swelling in amount, as a measure of despair on the part of
myriads, as well priests as gentry,—all this, and worse, he read in public;
and still as he read—
‘his hand
Haunted his sword, like an uneasy spot
In his own body.’
“In short, as there never has been so strong a national convulsion diffused
so widely, with equal truth, it may be asserted that no describer, so powerful,
or idealizing, so magnificent in what he deals with, has ever been a living
spectator of parallel scenes.”
The reaction of the atrocities and enormous crimes of the Revolution,
upon Wordsworth’s mind, was terrible. But a short time before the
Revolution commenced, we find him the espouser, the advocate of
democracy; the enemy of monarchial forms of government, and
consequently of hereditary monarchy; the foe, likewise, of all class
distinctions and privileges; for he regarded these as enemies to human
progress and happiness.—After his return to England, he says, in one of his
unpublished letters to the Bishop of Llandaff, “In my ardour to attain the
goal, I do not forget the nature of the ground where the race is to be run. The
destruction of those institutions which I condemn, appears to me to be
hastening on too rapidly. I abhor the very idea of a revolution. I am a
determined enemy to every species of violence. I see no connection, but
what the obstinacy of pride and ignorance renders necessary, between reason
and bonds. I deplore the miserable condition of the French, and think that we
can only be guarded from the same scourge by the undaunted efforts of good
men. I severely condemn all inflammatory addresses to the passions of men.
I know that the multitude walk in darkness. I would put into each man’s
hand a lanthern to guide him; not have him to set out on his journey
depending for illumination on abortive flashes of lightning, the corruscations
of transitory meteors.” These were the opinions of Wordsworth before, and
at the commencement of the Revolution. As I said, however, the crimes into
which the leaders of it subsequently plunged, and the mad passions which
influenced them, completely revolutionised the mind of Wordsworth, and
filled him with the darkest forebodings. He lost for a time, his generous faith
in men, his hope of human liberty, and his belief in the perfection of human
nature. He has given a fearful picture of his state of mind at this period, in
the Solitary of the “Excursion,” which the reader will do well to consult. The
events of the Revolution, however, brought with them much wisdom to
Wordsworth. They turned his thoughts inward, and compelled him to
meditate upon man’s nature and destiny,—upon what it is possible for man
to become; whilst they gave breadth, and depth, and expansion to his higher
sympathies. From this time Wordsworth’s mission as a priest may be dated.
He was no longer a mere dreamer, but was deeply impressed with the stern
realities—with the wants and necessities of his time; and he resolved to
devote himself to the service of humanity.
In De Quincy’s admirable “Lake Reminiscences,” in Tait’s Magazine,
already alluded to, it is stated that by his connection with public men,
Wordsworth had become an object of suspicion long before he left France,
and was looked upon as an English spy. How little did these persons know of
Wordsworth! At this very time his whole soul was in the cause for which the
patriots were struggling; and his own noble heart was rendered still nobler,
braver, and better, by his daily communings with the grand and sublime
nature of his friend Beaupuis. To this man De Quincy pays the finest tribute
of admiration and reverence which ever came from the pen of the historian,
or the mouth of the orator. “This great season,” he says, of “public trial had
searched men’s natures, revealed their real hearts; brought into life and
action qualities of writers not suspected by their possessors; and had thrown
man as in alternating states of society, each upon his own native resources,
unaided by the old conventional forms of rank and birth. Beaupuis had shone
to unusual advantage under this general trial. He had discovered, even to the
philosophic eye of Wordsworth, a depth of benignity very unusual in a
Frenchman; and not of local, contracted benignity, but of large, illimitable,
apostolic devotion to the service of the poor and the oppressed;—a fact the
more remarkable, as he had all the pretensions, in his own person, of high
birth, and high rank; and, so far as he had any personal interest embarked in
the struggle, should have allied himself to the aristocracy. But of selfishness
in any shape, he had no vestiges; or if he had, it shewed itself in a slight
tinge of vanity; yet no—it was not vanity, but a radiant quickness of
sympathy with the eye which expressed admiring love—sole relic of the
chivalrous devotion once limited to the service of the ladies. Now again he
put on the garb of chivalry; it was a chivalry the noblest in the world, which
opened his ear to the Pariah and the oppressed all over his misorganized
country. A more apostolic fervour of holy zealotry in this great cause has not
been seen since the days of Bartholomew Las Casas, who shewed the same
excess of feeling in another direction. This sublime dedication of his being
to a cause which, in his conception of it, extinguished all petty
considerations for himself, and made him thenceforward a creature of the
national will,—“a son of France,” in a more eminent and lofty sense than
according to the heraldry of Europe—had extinguished his sensibility to the
voice of worldly honour: ‘injuries,’ says Wordsworth—
——‘injuries
Made him more gracious.’
And so utterly had he submitted his own will, or separate interests, to the
transcendant voice of his country, which, in the main, he believed to be now
speaking authentically for the first time since the foundation of Christendom,
that, even against the motions of his own heart, he adopted the hatreds of the
young Republic, growing cruel in his purposes towards the ancient
oppressors, out of very excess of love for the oppressed; and against the
voice of his own order, as well as in stern oblivion of every early friendship,
he became the champion of democracy in the struggle everywhere
commencing with prejudice, or feudal privileges. Nay, he went so far upon
the line of this new crusade against the evils of the world, that he even
accepted—with a conscientious defiance of his own inevitable homage to the
erring spirit of loyalty embarked upon that cause—a commission in the
Republican armies preparing to move against La Vendee; and finally in that
cause, as commander-in-chief, he laid down his life.”
RETURNS TO ENGLAND.
Before this last event occurred, however, in the autumn of 1792,
Wordsworth had left France for London, where he remained, more or less,
for upwards of a year; and it was during this time, that he wrote the
unpublished letter to the Bishop of Llandaff, respecting the political opinions
of his lordship, contained in an appendix to one of his sermons, a portion of
which letter has already been quoted. And although Wordsworth still cleaves
to his democratic ideas, and announces them fearlessly to the bishop, he by
no means sympathises, as will be seen, with the mad actors in the
Revolution. On the contrary, he is pained to agony when he hears of the
atrocities committed in the name of liberty; and when, in the year 1794,
crossing the sands of Morecomb Bay, during one of his visits to
Cumberland, he asked of a horseman who was passing, “What news?” and
received for answer, that “Robespierre had perished,” “a passion seized him,
a transport of almost epileptic fervour prompted him, as he stood alone upon
the perilous waste of sands, to shout aloud anthems of thanksgiving, for this
great vindication of Eternal justice.”
Wordsworth was shocked, however, when England, after the death of the
king, on January 21st, 1793, declared war with France; and now resolved to
withdraw his mind, as much as possible, from the disappointed hopes which
politics had brought him as their harvest, and devote himself to poetry.
Accordingly, he left London, and once more commenced his ramblings, and
poetic labours. He passed a part of the summer of 1793 in the Isle of Wight,
hoping to find repose there; but the booming of terrible cannon, every
evening, at Portsmouth, and the consciousness that a fleet was equipping in
that port against France, made him sad, and full of misgivings as to the result
of the enterprise. He soon left the beautiful island, therefore, and wandered,
on foot, all over the vast plain of Salisbury—visiting the old and melancholy
temple of the ancient Druids—and passing thence by Bristol and Tintern to
North Wales. It was during this tour, on Salisbury Plain, that he commenced
his poem entitled “Guilt and Sorrow;” a production of considerable vigour
and ability.
Having now, in 1793, completed his twenty-third year, his friends again
urged him to receive holy orders; but, feeling that he was not inwardly
