	Marius the Epicurean, Vol. II
		And Marius was present when the Fathers, duly certified of the fact, by "acclamation," muttering their judgment all together, in a kind of low, rhythmical chant, decreed Caelum—the privilege of divine rank to the departed.
		Yet Marius noted the wonderful expression of peace, of quiet pleasure, on the countenance of Aurelius, as he received from him the rolls of fine clear manuscript, fancying the thoughts of the emperor occupied at the moment with the famous prospect towards the Alban hills, from those lofty windows.
		Marius, indeed, had always suspected that the sense of such necessity was a peculiarity of his.

		With the lad Marius, who, as the head of his house, took a leading part in the ceremonies of the day, there was a devout effort to complete this impressive outward silence by that inward tacitness of mind, esteemed so important by religious Romans in the performance of these sacred functions.
		It was this contrast that distracted Marius now in the blessing of his fields, and qualified his devout absorption upon the scrupulous fulfilment of all the details of the ceremonial, as the procession approached the altars.
		To Marius, at a later time, he counted for as it were an epitome of the whole pagan world, the depth of its corruption, and its perfection of form.

		On the second occasion Marius arrives at the time of the mass, and has a chance to follow the liturgy, which, as a religious act, has the same significance as a work of art: it builds a bridge between the visible and the invisible, apprehending unseen realities through the senses.
		Marius saw in the early church “that regenerate type of humanity, which, centuries later, Giotto and his successors … were to conceive as artistic ideal” (p.
		Of course this is a dramatic experience for Marius: after the encounter with Cecilia he struggles with the tension of his temperamental Epicureanism (being the eternal outsider) and the desire to become involved.

		And Marius was present when the Fathers, duly certified of the fact, by "acclamation," muttering their judgment all together, in a kind of low, rhythmical chant, decreed Caelum--the privilege of divine rank to the departed.
		Some flaw of vision, thought Marius, must be involved in the philosopher's contempt for it--some diseased point of thought, or moral dulness, leading logically to what seemed to him the strangest of all the emperor's inhumanities, the temper of the suicide; for which there was just then, indeed, a sort of mania in the world.
		Marius did not wonder, as he watched him speaking, that people freely attributed to him many of the marvellous adventures he had recounted in that famous romance, [86] over and above the wildest version of his own actual story--his extraordinary marriage, his religious initiations, his acts of mad generosity, his trial as a sorcerer.

		Since its first publication in 1885 Marius the Epicurean has remained an inimitable example of historical and autobiographical fiction.
		He took as his theme the reactions of the young Marius to a succession of moral and spiritual influences, in particular to Christianity, and at the same time used his story as a powerful artistic expression of his own life and inner development.
		In his use of subjectivity and impressionism Pater was far in advance of his time, and his highly wrought prose style has been emulated by many subsequent writers.

	Marius and the Necessity of Religion (Chapter 19)
		Marius the Epicurean (1885) is not only the supreme intellectual and artistic effort of Pater's career, but it represents the ultimate reach of the dialectical impulse that had governed so much of his earlier career.
		Marius becomes a thoroughgoing revision or at least reshaping of Pater's characteristic positions in the Renaissance and elsewhere; and his basic dichotomy between culture and religion is worked out in terms strikingly dose to Arnold's historical and ethical theory of the relations between Hebraism and Hellenism.
		Marius' own standards remain, for the while, 11 aesthetic"--there must be no "sacrifice" of any possible experiencebut the phrase "the merely aesthetic sense" and references to sympathy, friendship, and patriotism prepare the reader for the advent of Pater's Hellenic Christianity.

		A distinguished man of letters, he tried to educate the public of his time about the culture of the Renaissance through essays.
		In his novel Marius the Epicurean, published in 1885, he described the experiences of a young Roman living in the 2nd century, during the reign of the emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aelius Aurelius Antoninus.
		Pater, the originator of the phrase “art for art’s sake,” was a member of an aesthetic movement of the late 1800s that argued that art needed no other goal than to create or evoke beauty.

		Daily, from the time when his childish footsteps were still uncertain, had Marius taken them their portion of the family meal, at the second course, amidst the silence of the company.
		And it was delivered with conviction; as if the speaker verily saw into the recesses of the mental and physical being of the listener, while his own expression of perfect temperance had in it a fascinating power—the merely negative element of purity, the mere freedom from taint or flaw, in exercise as a positive influence.
		Marius, at least, would lie awake before the time, thinking with delight of the long coming hours of hard work in the presence of Flavian, as other boys dream of a holiday.

		To Basil Hallward, the ideal Epicurean, "death is nothing"--although martyred, his body is reduced to purity by the Dorian's flmailed scientist.
		The first book of Pater's Marius the Epicurean (which, incidentally, was a Bible to Wilde long before he thought of Dorian Gray) is devoted to an education that feeds the soul by teaching the student ideas of sense-perception and wholeness.
		Marius is most content during a childhood which allows more time for contemplation than action, and when he attends a school which is devoted "at once to strengthen and purify a certain vein of character in him.

		throne, whose equipage, [222] elegantly mounted with silver, Marius had seen in the streets of Rome, had certainly turned his many personal gifts to account with a good fortune, remarkable even in that age, so indulgent to professors or rhetoricians.
		The gratitude of the emperor Aurelius, always generous to his teachers, arranging their very quarrels sometimes, for they were not always fair to one another, had helped him to a really great place in the world.
		it was the one instance Marius, always eagerly on the look-out for such, had yet seen of [223] a perfectly tolerable, perfectly beautiful, old age--an old age in which there seemed, to one who perhaps habitually over-valued the expression of youth, nothing to be regretted, nothing really lost, in what years had taken away.

		"['Marius the Epicurean'] is not only the supreme intellectual and artistic effort of Pater's career, but it represents the ultimate reach of the dialectical impulse that had governed so much of his earlier career.
		The narrative follows the fictional character, Marius, from boyhood through to his education and young manhood as he searches for the governing principles of a suitable life philosophy in the turbulent political and social landscape of Aurelian Rome (2nd century A.D.).
		Marius examines and rejects the principles of stoicism, hedonism, Heraclitean cosmology, the pagan Roman beliefs, and the ethics of Marcus Aurelius--even the ideals of Epicurus are unsatisfactory.

		On the afternoon of the seventh day he allowed Marius finally to put aside the unfinished manuscript.
		For the enemy, leaving the chest quiet at length though much exhausted, had made itself felt with full power again in a painful vomiting, which seemed to shake his body asunder, with great consequent prostration.
		And now Marius began more than to suspect what the issue must be, and henceforward could but watch with a sort of agonised fascination the rapid but systematic work of the destroyer, [117] faintly relieving a little the mere accidents of the sharper forms of suffering.

	glbtq >> literature >> Pater, Walter
		His historical novel Marius the Epicurean, set in Rome during the era of emperor Marcus Aurelius, was warmly received.
		What his contemporaries took to be a shocking, even perverse license for self-indulgence, in fact was a doctrine that demanded a studious, even somewhat ascetic cultivation of the receptiveness to beauty.
		And as Marius the Epicurean puts it, in the most characteristically Paterian way, this is "an art in some degree peculiar to each individual character; with the modifications, that is, due to its special constitution, and the peculiar circumstances of its growth, inasmuch as no one of us is 'like another, all in all.'"

		It has been described as 'the most highly finished of all his works and the expression of his deepest thought.' He gave up a considerable period, between 1880 and 1885, to its composition.
		It is the story of the life, at the time of the Antonines, of a grave and thoughtful man. Pater traces the reactions of Marius to the spiritual and philosophical influences to which he is subjected.
		These range from the 'Golden book' of Lucius Apuleius to the stoicism of Marcus Aurelius, and from the tranquil beauties of the old Roman religion to the lurid horrors of the Christian persecution.

		It was the existence of an order only too real, the criminal court at the Old Bailey, that brought such a swift closure to Wilde’s career.
		Further awkward questions might follow, such as why it is that Davis can extend his chronology to include Jude the Obscure (1895), but not Pater’s Marius the Epicurean (1885), a novel which one might argue provides a more important literary contextualisation for Robert Elsmere (1888) than, say, Oakfield.
