Excerpt from An Outline of the Life of John Henry, Cardinal Newman
What gave his secession its unique value was the height to which he had risen as a complex and subtle genius, as poet, preacher, historian, controversialist, theologian, and saint. For he was all these at once, and in no common measure. And he manifested what he was in a lucid English that for transparency and depth, for the bright ness of its irony, idiomatic strength, and tender pathos, remains at this day unapproachable.
