" In Great Books, great men talk to us, give us most precious thought in most precious language, and pour their souls into ours : by their ideas, they bring us freedom; and through their ideas, they bring us expansion: the lightning of their great thoughts and feelings shows us the way to heroic life, which we never can find by any other means.... The Great Books are fatal to low standards, to self-complacency, to narrowness and dis- 24 BlBLIOPHILY, OR BOOKLOVE honesty of every sort : they appeal to the best that is in us, and answer our demand for what is best : they give a voice to our own indistinct thoughts and to the things we are yearning for: through them we catch the spirit of the holiest and the wisest men that have ever walked this earth: they call forth our deepest needs, inspire confidence in our- selves, and impel us to nourish our soul with truth and beauty and love : they reveal the charm of a noble and heroic life : they kindle a desire for the strength and the delights of the good and the wise, and strengthen our will to strive for goodness and wisdom.
