Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster: With Notes The greatest events of men´s lives are told in the fewest words. It is rather with the minor things - into which just enough feeling enters to make them vital, but not enough to make them absolutely intimate - that the best and most abundant autobiographies are concerned. That this reticence is due less to the common human instinct of hiding treasure than to the limitations of language and to the restrictions imposed by the rules of art, is probable. For instance, we want to show, and not to hide, Religion; and it is therefore owing solely to the difficulty of subordinating great things to "treatment" by literary methods, that the mass of the Religious Poetry of the world - in which we might hope to find our largest literary riches - is in the main poor in literary quality, and is only in the exceptions, which all know, intimate, magical and penetrating. Even in human love, the poet tells us that "the wise say least;" and this, not by any self-imposed restraint, but by the inexorable limitations of speech.
