Forster also alludes explicitly to Meredith through Cecil Vyse in that most Meredithean of his novels, A Room with a View; Cecil claims Meredith is right, the cause of comedy and of truth are the same, though he does not yet realize just how funny the truth is going to be.

Forster's attitude does not seem to have changed later; in 1949 he found “Lucifer in Starlight” inadequate: “The heavens and the earth have become terribly alike since Einstein. No longer can we find a reassuring contrast to chaos in the night sky and look up with George Meredith to the stars, the army of unalterable law, or listen for the music of the spheres.” “Art for Art's Sake,” Two Cheers for Democracy (London: Edward Arnold, 1951), p. 100.

^{Note 10 in page 1038} Something of Fielding's experience in the cave remains with him in the finished novel. A view of the caves from a distance acutely depresses him and he wonders “whether he was really and truly successful as a human being”; he feels somewhat insanely that “we exist not in ourselves, but in terms of each other's minds, …” A Passage to India, pp. 199 and 259.
