We do accumulate facts and information as we read a manual or watch the news, certainly. And we digest this knowledge into opinions. But we also continue throughout life to develop know-how: how to use new technology, how to ride a bike, how to make a souffle, how to tell a good story, how to write, how to play the trumpet. We learn to make new discriminations: to tell a new friend's mood from their voice on the phone, to tell a bordeaux from a burgundy, to tell Brahms from Mendelssohn. We learn new preferences: our likes and dislikes change as we grow up and keep different company. A drink that at one time seemed peculiar or unpleasant becomes an acquired taste.

For him God has enough new experiences, so that repetition is unnecessary. He dislikes routine. "Everything," Emerson says, "admonishes us how needlessly long life is," that is, if we walk with heroes and do not repeat. Let a machine add figures while the soul moves on. He dislikes seeing any part of a universe that he does not use. Shakespeare seemed to him to have lived a thousand years as the guest of a great universe in which most of us never pass beyond the antechamber.
