Excerpt from The Changing Order: A Study of Democracy
Underneath all now comes this Word, turning the edge of the other words where they meet it.
Politics, art, science, commerce, religion, customs and methods of daily life, the very outer shows and semblances of ordinary objects -
Their meanings must all now he absorbed and recast in this word, or else fall off like dry husks before its disclosure - Art can now no longer be separated from life;
The old canons fail; her tutelage completed she becomes equivalent to Nature, and hangs her curtains continuous with the clouds and waterfalls -
The form of man emerges in all objects, baffling the old classifications and definitions -
The old ties giving way beneath the strain, and the great pent heart heaving as though it would break -
At the sound of the new word spoken -
At the sound of the word Democracy.
