3 - Impersonality and Vividness: ‘Le Gai Savaire’, Philip Heseltine and D. H. Lawrence
Summary
Lateness was not only an attitude towards history and time; it was also an attitude towards subjectivity. It encompassed what Heseltine described as the ability to ‘be before attempting to do’. This ability was thematized in temporal terms, so that an artist might be considered either timely or untimely according to his ability to be ‘vivid’ or fully himself.
