Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Mason Neale D.D: A Memoir The following memoir of Dr. Neale cannot claim to be a comprehensive record of his life; but it is a memorial of an unconventional and striking personality which left its mark upon a prosaic period; whilst it is also a chronicle of spiritual and practical undertakings that, within the limits of the English Church, might well be regarded as original in conception and tentative in character. Pioneer work of any kind was especially congenial to one who united the impulse of the discoverer to an indefatigable spirit of mental activity. A less sympathetic insight into the deeds and minds of other men might have resulted in a more creative exercise of unusual intellectual powers. His inclination was to adapt and interpret. Readers of Pater will remember that Sebastian van Storck´s dissatisfaction with the Catholic Religion arose from his perception of "its unfailing drift towards the concrete - the positive imageries of a faith, so richly beset with persons, things, historical incidents." To Neale this was one of its chief attractions. These were the things about which his imagination hovered, illuminating forgotten pages of history, giving life to an effigy, setting an aureole about a Saint, transforming a defaced inscription, restoring the glow and colour of painted glass and gilded missals. His mind was a reliquary where stones of little value lay mingled with pearls of great price. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
