This sacred Teutonic blood it was which brought intoWestern Europe the subtlety of romantic conceptions, the true lyric touchin poetry, the deep reverence which was (till recently) the note of theirreligion, the love of adventure in which the old civilization was lacking, and a vast respect for women.
