The documents tell us little about the difference in tone which separates us from those times; they let us forget the fervent pathos of medieval life.” “The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.” Related Phrases
