Francis Bacon – The Man Who Saw Through Time

Background

(Loren Eiseley)

Not all men are fated like Sir Francis Bacon, to discover an unknown continent, and to find it not in the oceans of this world but in the vaster seas of time.  Few men would seek through thirty years of rebuff and cold indifference a compass to lead men toward a green isle invisible to all other eyes.  “How much more,” he wrote in wisdom, “are letters to be magnified, which as ships pass through the vast seas of time, and make ages so distant to participate of the wisdom, illumination, and inventions, the one of the other…..”  “Whosoever shall entertain high and vaporous imaginations,” he warned, “instead of a laborious and sober inquiry of truth, shall beget hopes and beliefs of strange and impossible shapes.”  It is ironic that Bacon, a sober propounder of the experimental method in science – Bacon, who sought so eloquently to give man control of his own destiny – should have contributed, nevertheless, to that world of “impossible shapes” which surrounds us today.

Appropriately there lingers about this solitary time voyager a shimmering image of fable, an atmosphere of mystery, which frequently closes over and obscures the great geniuses of lost or poorly documented centuries.  Bacon, who opened for us the doorway of the modern world, is an incomparable inspiration for such myth-making proclivities.  Rumors persist that he did not die in the year 1626 but escaped to Holland, that he was the real author of Shakespeare’s plays, that he was the unacknowledged son of Queen Elizabeth.  Rumor can go no further; it is a measure of this great discoverer’s power to captivate the curiosity of men – a power that has grown century by century since his birth in 1561.  In spite of certain mystifying aspects of his life, there is no satisfactory evidence sufficient to justify these speculations, though a vast literature betokens their fascination and appeal. (The Man Who Saw Through Time, Revised and enlarged edition of Francis Bacon and the Modern Dilemma, Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York, 1973, pp. 49-50)

Dr. William Rawley

“I have been induced to think, that if there were a Beam of Knowledge derived from God upon any Man in these Modern Times, it was upon him; for though he was a great Reader of Books, yet he had not his Knowledge from Books, but from some Grounds and Notions within himself.”  (Resuscitatio, 1670, Ed. P. 9.  Dr. W. Rawley, for many years his chaplain, secretary and confidant. (Alfred Dodd, Francis Bacon’s Personal Life-Story, Rider & Company, London, 1986, p. 89.)

It would be pleasant to think that Shakespeare was responsible, in part, for the majesty of the following [original 1611 spelling, and Saga Cipher Values inserted]:

Whether he had anything to do with it or not, he is in it.  It is the forty-sixth Psalm.  The forty-sixth word from the beginning is SHAKE, and the forty-sixth word from the end, if we leave out the cadential ‘Selah’,  is SPEAR[E].  And, in 1610, Shakespeare was forty-six years old.  If this is mere chance, fancy must allow us to think that it is happy chance.  The greatest prose-work of all time has the name of the greatest poet set cunningly in it.“ (Anthony Burgess, Shakespeare, Penguin Books, 1972, pp. 233-234)

¹ Francis Bacon’s Last Letter

Background

 (Alfred Dodd)

Every schoolboy knows the story told in their history books how Francis Bacon one snowy day on or about All Fools Day, 1 April 1626, drove with the King’s Physician, Sir John Wedderburn, to Highgate and that at the foot of the Hill he stopped, bought a fowl, and stuffed it with snow with his own hands in order to ascertain whether bodies could be preserved by cold.  During the procedure, we are told, he caught a chill, and instead of Dr. Wedderburn driving him back to Gray’s Inn (whence he had come) or taking him to some warm house, the worthy doctor took him to an empty summer mansion on Highgate Hill, Arundel House, where there was only a caretaker; and there Francis Bacon was put into a bed which was damp and had only been “warmed by a Panne” (a very strange thing for a doctor to do) with the result that within a few days he died of pneumonia.  Dr. Rawley, his chaplain, says that he died “in the early morning of the 9^th April, a day on which was COMMEMORATED the Resurrection of Our Saviour”.

That is the story and this is Francis Bacon’s last letter:

[See # 3 above]

Here the letter ends abruptly.  Whatever else was written has been suppressed by Sir Tobie Matthew, one of the Rosicrosse, on which Spedding remarks, “It is a great pity the editor did not think fit to print the whole.”  For some mysterious reason the letter was not printed until 1669 in Matthew’s Collection, captioned “This was the last letter that he ever wrote.”  (Francis Bacon’s Personal Life-Story, Rider&Co, London, 1986, pp. 539-540.)
