Brave New World
by Aldous Leonard Huxley (1894-1963)
Chapter 8
...
The young man drew a deep breath. "To think it should be coming true-what I've
dreamt of all my life. Do you remember what Miranda says?"
"Who's Miranda?"
But the young man had evidently not heard the question. "O wonder!" he was
saying; and his eyes shone, his face was brightly flushed. "How many goodly
creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is!" The flush suddenly
deepened; he was thinking of Lenina, of an angel in bottle-green viscose, lustrous
with youth and skin food, plump, benevolently smiling. His voice faltered. "O brave
new world," he began, then-suddenly interrupted himself; the blood had left his
cheeks; he was as pale as paper.
"Are you married to her?" he asked.
"Am I what?"
"Married. You know-for ever. They say 'for ever' in the Indian words; it can't be
broken."
"Ford, no!" Bernard couldn't help laughing.
John also laughed, but for another reason-laughed for pure joy.
"O brave new world," he repeated. "O brave new world that has such people in it.
Let's start at once."
"You have a most peculiar way of talking sometimes," said Bernard, staring at the
young man in perplexed astonishment. "And, anyhow, hadn't you better wait till you
actually see the new world?"
the reference is to miranda's words in Shakespeare's "The Tempest". Huxley is being ironic.
