The inevitable result of this view was that men strove after eloquence and elegance of expression, and style governed. Now to cultivate style for style's sake is the Pharisaism of the intellect. The great masters of style, VI.] LANGUAGE AS LITERATURE. 83 Sophocles, Euripides, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton, did not do this. With them, as with all writers who live in the esteem of generations, thought comes first, and style is nothing more than the apt and felicitous expres- sion of prior thought. S...tyle is not to be compared to the vesture which covers a man's body, but rather to the native and natural covering of the beasts of the field.
