Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Saint Hugh of Lincoln There is a Ruskin´s Prterita, in which the critic, while betraying perhaps some lack of appreciation for the work of other monastic bodies, speaks with enthusiasm of the Carthusians, and declares that "they have had a more directly wholesome influence on the outer world than any other order of monks so narrow in number and restricted in habitation." "In their strength," he continues, "from the foundation of the Order at the close of the eleventh century, to the beginning of the fourteenth, they reared in their mountain fastnesses, and sent out to minister to the world a succession of men of immense mental grasp, and serenely authoritative innocence; among whom our own Hugo of Lincoln, in his relations with Henry II. and Coeur de Lion, is to my mind the most beautiful sacerdotal figure known to me in history. The great Pontiffs have a power which in its strength can scarcely be used without cruelty, nor in its scope without error; the great saints are always in some degree incredible or unintelligible; but Hugo´s power is in his own personal courage and justice only; and his sanctity as clear, frank, and playful as the waves of his own Chartreuse well."
