OK,you want context. Here's context. The original quotation is «Whoso belongs only to his own age, and reverences only its gilt Popinjays or smoot-smeared Mumbojumbos, must needs die with it.» It's from Carlyle's two-part review of Croker's edition of Boswell's Life of Johnson, 1831. The review was part of a discussion of the nature of biography as a literary art, and in particular a discussion of the extent to which the biographer should also be an historian and commentator on the time being written about. Carlyle sees Boswell himself as the epitome of a man of his own time and something of a popinjay, but one who was redeemed by his engagement with Johnson, a writer who combined a relish of contemporary life with a classical ideology that nominally rejected the importance of history as detailed lived experience, seeking only to extract generalised moral lessons. The comment is really about how they needed each other because through Johnson Boswell was able to both see his own age and see beyond it. The sentence itself, with its deliberate coinage of strange phrases used in unusual ways was known as «Carlylese», a notoriously eccentric style of writing invented by Carlyle and designed to disconcert the reader by sounding both archaic and weirdly new at the same time – mirroring his emphasis on the interpenetration of the past, present and future (the «conflux of eternities» as he calls it) to stress the very point being made about seeing through ones own time.

Whoso belongs only to his own age, and reverences only its gilt Popinjays or smoot-smeared Mumbojumbos, must needs die with it.

Ок.

Заменил фразу.

Правильно «Волос», исправил. Но слово «пьеса» короче, чем «постановка». Оставлю его если нет возражений.
