Book Description
In similar fashion, as Bernard of Clairvaux, and many others after, Patmore's mantra: "I only report the cry which certain 'babes in Christ' have uttered: 'Taste and see that the Lord is sweet'." More importantly, he adds, far be it from me to pose as other than a mere reporter, using the poetic intellect and imagination so as in part to conceive those happy realities of life which in many have been and are an actual and abiding possession; and to express them in such manner that thousands who lead beautiful and substantially Christian lives, whether outside or within the visible Church, being ssisted in the only true learning, which is to know better what they know. I make no ridiculous pretence of invading the province of a theologian by dogma. This I am content with implicitly; my work being mainly that of the Poet, bent only upon discovering and reporting how the "loving hint" of doctrine has "met the longing guess" of the souls of those who have so believed in the Unseen that it has become visible.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... magna moralia I To live holily and to believe nothing is the way of that " broad Church" which leadeth to destruction; for really so to live is worse than to live in harmony with its no-belief; since the conjunction of good in externals with evil in internals is as destructive a profanation as that of the opposite kind of conjunction, a real faith and an evil life. L ii In vulgar minds the idea of passion is inseparable from that of disorder; in them the advances of love, or anger, or any other strong energy towards its end, is like the rush of a savage horde, with war-whoops, tom-toms, and confused tumu
