Перевод: tepidity

"A commune is the tumult of the people, the terror of the realm, the tepidity of the priesthood" - such was the cry of the chronicler Richard of Devizes, as he took shelter in the cathedral priory at Winchester, and contemplated from afar the commune of London of the 1190s.
The terror, rather than tepidity, of the priesthood, it had undoubtedly been in many an Italian city in the late eleventh and twelfth centuries; and even more, perhaps, in the bloody riots in Cologne in 1074 which nearly subdued the pride of the prince archbishop of the city - or the riots in Laon in 1112 which erupted in the murder of the unpopular Bishop Waldric, and gravely shocked both the chivalrous King Louis of France, and his neighbour the English king, Henry I, whose chancellor Waldric had been.
This was not obvious to most people in the later nineteenth century, and the general effect of the Second Law was to encourage the gloomy belief that in time the universe would die the heat death of general tepidity: that the universe would see Victorians and their foreseeable descendants out, its death being many million years away, was little consolation to believers in progress, who saw it all stopping in the distant future.
The tepidity of most British cinema during the 1950s made Anderson resistant to the values of commercial filmmaking, and this cut him off from the possibility of developing his critical argument through filmmaking.
