Excerpt: When Mr. Bagehot spoke his luminous words about ?a fatigued way of looking at great subjects,? he gave us the key to a mental attitude which perhaps is not the modern thing it seems. There were, no doubt, Greeks and Romans in plenty to whom the ?glory? and the ?grandeur? of Greece and Rome were less exhilarating than they were to Edgar Poe,?Greeks and Romans who were spiritually palsied by the great emotions which presumably accompany great events. They may have been philosophers, or humanitarians, or academists. They may have been conscientious objectors, or conscienceless shirkers, or perhaps plain men and women with a natural gift of indecision, a natural taste for compromise and awaiting developments. In the absence of newspapers and pamphlets, these peaceful pagans were compelled to express their sense of fatigue to their neighbours at the games or in the market-place; and their neighbours?if well chosen?sighed with them over the intensity of life, the formidable happenings of history.
