Excerpt from Early Flemish Artists and Their Predecessors on the Lower Rhine Renascence, thereby declaring plainly enough that that period was one from which they were wholly cut off in sympathy and the general tone and aims of life. It was in fact a world-epoch altogether different from the one in which we live and a world-epoch is not a mere scale of succeeding events, but a great symphony of existence, played on the throbbing lives of men. It has to be regarded as a whole, as the working out of a noble theme, any one-sided investigation of which will lead only to a one-sided result. The politician may learn lessons from it for the guidance of his policy; the economist may use it as a test for his theories; the artist may draw examples from it, and the man of letters may find certain of its written works suggestive to him; but one whose interest in the world is based upon the full breadth of his manhood, must turn back and View it as a whole from every Side. Regarded thus the Dark or Gothic period must in future times come to rank among the greatest epochs. Do you ask for heroisms, and will the age of St. Louis of France and St. Francis of Assisi send you unsatisfied away? Do you demand great thoughts, and Shall you not find them in a Bernard of Clairvaux or E Thomas Aquinas? Must you have beauty of utterance, and will not the songs of a Walter von der Vogelweide or the almost Homeric Chanson de Roland more.
