The Celestial Omnibus. The Celestial Omnibus by E.M. Forster isabout the freeing of one's soul through faith and imagination andthrough the combination of these the forming of reality. Thoughseen by some, it is not meant to be taken as a religious text atall, however, a boy's imagination is tested, but not just tested,tested by faith. The story unfolds with a young boy's curiosityabout a street sign near his house pointing towards a dead-endalley stating"To Heaven". The boy is teased by his mother andfather for his curiosity about a street sign located so close tohis house that points up a dead alley. His parents tell him thestreet sign was placed there as a joke and had no real meaning. Theboy lets his curiosity and imagination capture the best of him oneearly
morning and he ignores his parent's advice that the alley is ajoke with no truth behind its advertisement. He finds himself inthe alley searching for what is explained in writhing on the alleywall as an "Omnibus. The omnibus is stated to leave and return at"sunrise and sunset" with return tickets "which may only beobtained by the driver." The boy's strong imagination brought himto the crossroads of the omnibus. He first observed the signstating "To Heaven" and allows his imagination to wonder. Why wasit there? What did it mean? Was it true? That was not a question,it had to be true, and that faith made his imagination andcuriosity, a Celestial reality. This Omnibus, or multi-passengervehicle, also defined as a book holding many novels publishedseparately under one title, moves in silents and seems to only beconjured and understood through faith. Exactly what the boybelieves is exactly what he sees his faith brings his thoughts tolife.
Though the boy's parents laugh at his curiosity in the alley.The story goes on to explain the boy's adventure-filled omnibusride, pulled by a horse and driven by a kind face man covered in acloak, the omnibus. Upon the first ride on the mysterious omnibus,the boy seems uneasy as he forgets his purse and wonders if he willbe able to purchase another ticket from the driver. The driver SirThomas Browne was born in 1605 and passed away in 1682. He was a17th-century philosopher with countless writings and works in thefields of medicine, religion, and science and is considered in somecircles as one of the most original writers in the Englishlanguage. The boy creates the whole scene by faithfully imaginingand making it his reality. It seems that though the rules of theomnibus are very strict Sir Thomas Browne respects the boy and hascompassion towards him. This may be because the boy's faith issensed by the driver.
In a long-complicated rant, Sir Thomas explains to the boy whyhe doesn't need to pay earthly money to receive a return ticket,but the tone in which he talks is very somber and kind. The boy'strust, faith, and imagination earn him a complimentary ticket backto his known reality. Through his one-day journey on the omnibus,the boy is reminded of his family which he left behind for the day,knowing they will miss him for breakfast and lunch he continues onhis one-day journey. This shows the boy's sense of independence andinner strength. He understands he may need to see his parents againbut he trusts the driver will keep his word and return him atsunset, a perfect example of faith and trust. Moreover, the boy anddriver explore another world. A world is full of imagination. SirThomas the boy, and the horse-drawn omnibus traverse a rainbow usedas a bridge connected to the climax of the boy's imagination.Passing rivers and shouting out 'You down in the water" toonlookers connected to the climactic approaching entrance that issuddenly flashed back to the boy being scolded by his mother forexplaining his exciting day. Poetry is a big part of this boy'slife as his mother instructs him to bring his poetry books to showhis father in the aid of explaining his imaginative nonsense, thatan omnibus flew him over a rainbow that very day. Following adinner party, the boy’s father wants him to explain his nonsense tohis close friend Mr. Bons who is a poetry connoisseur.
The man laughs at first but after a show of tears, heunderstands the passion in the boy's story. ThoughMr. Bonus didn'thave full faith he takes a curious step and follows the boy to theominous omnibus station located down the dead-end alley near hishouse. Mr. Bons was now sharing in a boy's imagination with blindfaith. He knows the characters in the boy's head but he couldn'tkeep up with its settings. Mr.Bons didn't have the combination offaith and imagination needed to connect to an eternal breakthroughof a reality created through faith. Mr. Bons recognizes the driverof the boy's second omnibus ride and is awestricken. This man isnot alive anymore, or is he? Through the boy's imagination whateverhe wants to be alive is filled with life. The omnibus, Mr. Bons,Driver, and all three horses traveled the fog of the boy'simagination but when it came to the bridge of faith which was therainbow, Mr. Bons could not bring himself to cross it.
The boy is greeted by the great Achilles on the other side ofthe rainbow. Achilles in Greek mythology is a great hero known tobe strong and loyal. He greets the boys at the gates of hisimaginative climax but denies Mr. Bons because of his lack of faithand courage. Mr. Bons doesn't get to complete the great questthrough the boy's imagination and is dropped from the omnibus thatgallops over the magical rainbow bridge to his death. Faith andimagination kept the young boy alive through his created reality.His belief in a world unimaginable by the average person was sostrong and complete that he created his paradise. Through theinfluence of poetry, the charters in his created reality were greatauthors such as Sir Thomas Browne and mythical heroes likeAchilles. This short story points nowhere near any kind ofreligious argument, all signs point towards the acceleration ofself through faith, and imagination combining to create one'sreality. He made his paradise by himself, it was his own personaljourney Mr. Bons was not prepared for and his parents were notwilling to accept, the boy became a legend, and the boy became thedefinition of success.
