Excerpt from The Social Life of the Italian Renaissance
A great period, like a great individual, lives in the heart of mankind, creating vivid pictures around which the imagination loves to linger. Thus the period of the Italian Renaissance will ever remain a shining mark holding us captive by its brilliant achievements in art and literature, its fascinating personalities, its monuments in stone and marble, its materialization of beauty and harmony in unfading colors on canvas and wall, its undying truths written in the lives and deaths of saints and scholars, and an ethereal atmosphere of fine poetic sentiment which wraps the name of Italy in a mantle of hazy beauty!
