Beacon Lights of History Volume 06: Renaissance and Reformation
The pundits dole out to Dante a pre-prominence over the greater part of those we call unfading.
Just a few different artists in the entire domain of writing, antiquated or mod ern, question his seat. We contrast him and Homer and Shakspeare, and maybe Goethe, alone.
Civili zation wonders in Virgil, Milton, Tasso, Racine, Pope, and Byron, every unfading craftsman;
yet it focuses to just four men concerning whose otherworldly crea tive force there is unanimity of judgment, – wonders of virtuoso,
to whose influence and acclaim we can allocate no restrictions; stars of such unbelievable brilliancy that we can just look and miracle,
becoming more splendid and more brilliant, as well, with the advancement of ages;
so noteworthy that no boorishness will actually darken their splendor, so unique that all impersonation of them becomes impossi ble and crazy.
So incredible is unique virtuoso, coordinated by workmanship and blessed to grandiose notions.
