Excerpt from The Utility of Classical Studies: An Address
Who would exchange for mere mathematical abstractions - for all the meagre ideas derived from a consideration of the properties of circles and triangles, the pleasures of the imagination alone? Which from nothing can call into being ideal worlds clothed with beauty, and, unrestrained by time and distance, be versant with all scenes and present in all places-that ethereal faculty, winch is a lively symbol of the Deity in his omnipotence, omniscience and omni presence.
