1902, Charles Godfrey Leland, Flaxius:As the Schwobian view is diabolical, so is there, on the other hand, a divine humour, a sweet and sacred gelasma, which we only do not associate with sacred things and grandeur, simply because we know nothing about their true inner nature and are not at home there.
