Excerpt from Christ on Parnassus: Lectures on Art, Ethic, and Theology
Much attention is now happily given to the phil Osophy both of history and religion, and it may be worth while to urge that no account of society is just which ignores the action, in it and for it, Of the spiritual power which comes next to religion, and has so many exchanges with it. In an age Of culture the artist in various kinds means much. And, lest anything so fatal should take place as the substitution Of an aesthetic for an ethical religion, or art be depraved by being idolised, it is well that we should know what art cannot do through those who duly own what it can. The glacial age is now over when religion was in peril from natural science in our more genial day the danger is from other and sunnier sides; and one of these is the aesthetic. Truly the danger Of Capua to Hannibal is great. But it may be useful, while some show how bad a master Art may be, that others should indicate how good she can be as a servant. If a bad judge she is a precious witness. That is what I try to suggest to any aspiring and ingenuous spirits who may happen to take this book into their hands. Considerations of the kind be.
