We hold that the most wonderful and splendid proof of genius is a great poem produced in a civilized age.
The object of oratory alone in not truth, but persuasion.
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
As civilization advances, poetry almost necessarily declines.
