" Like Leonora, human nature has been deprived of its ideal ; the dream of classicism, of the ideal city, or of the perfect life of wisdom, has passed away. The dream of the mediasval monk, of the perfect life after death in communion with a supra-mundane godhead and a company of glorified saints, has passed away also, so THE MODERN KEVOLUTlUN. 63 far as constituting a practical life-object for men is concerned. Commercialism in the shape of money, capital, competition, success in life, has, in... the mock vesture of an ideal, summoned the human Leonora to a reckless ride to an unknown bourne. The summons has been accepted with unquestioning faith — a faith so unquestioning that the cry of the frogs and the ravens ; the gibbet, crime ; the ever-increasing phantom crew — starvation, misery, disease, and pauperism — go for nothing as they scour along in mad career in the track, mocking the rider. It remains to tear asunder the vesture of our hypothetical Wilhelm and to discover whether he be real or spectral.
