Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Atlantic Essays, The Greek goddesses. (search)
ood in all ages, but also through a culture such as no other age has offered, through the exercise of rights never before conceded, of duties never yet imposed, will this heroic sisterhood be reared. Joining the unforgotten visions of Greek sublimity with the meeker graces of Christian tradition, there may yet be noblerforms, that shall eclipse those fair humanities of old religion ; as, when classic architecture had reached perfection, there rose the Gothic, and made the Greek seem cold. Note.--The Paris Revue Britannique of October, 1865. contained a translation of this essay, under the title of Lea Deesses Grecques, in which occurred some amusing variations. For instance, the mild satire of the sentence, Their genealogies have been discussed, as if they lived in Boston or Philadelphia, underwent this European adaptation:--Leur genealogie a éte discutee comme celle des nobles dames de la societe moderne en Angleterre et en France pourrait laetre dans un college heraldique.
