Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Popes of Rome, Vol. 2: Their Church and State in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries I do not think that I deceive myself or that I overstep the proper limits of history, in believing that I can perceive at this point one of the general laws of human life in operation. It is unquestionably true, that there are at all times energies of the living mind which thus profoundly move the world. Prepared beforehand in the course of preceding centuries, they rise at their own time, called forth by the agency of vigorous and internally powerful natures, from the unfathomed depths of the human soul. It is their very nature to seek to carry the world along with them and to overpower it. But the more they succeed in doing so, the larger the circle they embrace, the more they come into contact with original independent life, which they cannot so entirely and absolutely subdue and absorb into themselves. Hence it happens, for they belong to the order of interminable creative existences, that they undergo a revolution in themselves. In embracing what is of a nature foreign to their own, they forthwith absorb a part of its essence into themselves; there are developed in them tendencies in particular directions, movements of their very being, which are not seldom inconsistent with their ruling idea. But it cannot fail to happen that in the general advance, these also should wax and thrive. All depends but upon this, that they do not acquire the preponderance; otherwise they would directly destroy the unity and also the fundamental principle of their existence.
