To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I do not undervalue these blessings, but religion gives fire and strength, and the world wants fire and strength even more than sweetness and light.' By religion, let me explain, Mr. Sidgwick here means par- ticularly that Puritanism on the insufficiency of which I have been commenting and to which he says I am unfair.
Now, no doubt, it is possible to be a fanatical partisan ot light and the instincts which push us to it, a fanatical enemy of strictness of moral conscience and the instincts whi...ch push us to it. A fanaticism of this sort deforms and vul- garises the well-known work, in some respects so remark- able, of the late IMr. Buckle. Such a fanaticism carries its own mark with it, in lacking sweetness ; and its own penalty, in that, lacking sweetness, it comes in the end to lack light too. And the Greeks, — the great exponents of humanity's bent for sweetness and light united, of its perception that the truth of things must be at the same time beauty, — sin- gularly escaped the fanaticism which we moderns, whether we Hellenise or whether we Hebraise, are so apt to show.
