To the reticent Charles Gould, who complained about "clap-trap eloquence"
and the "art of declamation" ,
this sound is his speech. The "peculiar force" in a proclamation is
its power to convince, to impose a dream-ideal on others and make it their own.
And here again the word "fact" is linked to human influence. Where does
the "marvellousness" lie -- in Charles' desire becoming a fact, or the
fact becoming a desire in others? In this passage fact is merely a middle ground
between internal desire and social reorganization.
