Shelley’s line, used as the poetic statement of the one thing Neville insists follows from the Son calling every man Father: that the interweaving is a fact about being rather than a sentiment about fellowship. At 1832 it arrives the moment the argument from David is finished — he’s going to call every being in this world Father; therefore, really, you are one with every being in the world. Then you understand the poet. So every being in this world is actually interwoven. He pairs it with Donne, whom he calls Dunne, and the pairing is consistent: I am involved in mankind. Every man’s death is the death of me. Never send to ask for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for me — applied at 1832 to the morning news, you read that something happened today across the water and someone was killed violently, don’t ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me. The reason given is not compassion but ontology: for there’s nothing but God buried in these graves in the world. The practical form it takes in this lecture is about envy rather than grief, which is unusual and worth attaching: you can congratulate every being in this world for every good thing they do, because it’s yourself. COUNT: mine and provisional, and the two halves do NOT travel together. Shelley’s line is in about twenty-two lectures (9, 98, 109, 1023, 1026, 1091, 1100, 1101, 1125, 1136, 1153, 1448, 1530, 1777, 1824, 1832, 1874, 1972, 2076, 2177, 3958, 4430); Donne’s is in three (1161, 1832, 1842), and the fragmented-stone image that goes with it in two (1161, 1832). Attach on whichever quotation is present.
