Excerpt from Cavalier Lyrics: For Church and Crown Surely we need more of the Cavalier spirit among us. If we had it, we might then take life pleasantly, working no less industriously, without being so noisy about our religion or decrying other people's irreligion. Too much commotion 18 made, far too much nonsense is talked, and rabid salvationist rant encouraged, by those who ought to know better. Let us avoid sanctimoniousness, as we desire to avoid rebellion. The favourers of the one are prone to the other. Mawworm and Anarchus generally hunt in couples, as they did of Old. Let us resist the encroachments Of Puritanical intolerance and ugliness, physical Or moral. Laugh to silence the re-assertors that Beauty is only skin - deep!' Who wishes to go deeper than the surface, and burrow down into the skeleton? Love a fair face, without disguise or shame; for the Platonic doctrine is true, and a beautiful soul is generally found in a beautiful casket. The mind fashions its receptacle in harmony; although it has a hard task before it, after many generations have been brutalized by a sordid Puritanism. Let us love whatever deserves to be loved, and not insult humanity by morbid discontent, vivisecting all that is fair, all that is holy, in distrust and conventicle malevolence. If life be made brighter to others, by sweetness and open heartedness, we cannot fail to share the happiness we so readily extend. That is the Cavalier faith and practice. It will be long before anybody finds a better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
