It had far more in common with some primitive religion, beating gongs and bel lowing at an eclipse of the moon. It was the voice of that veiled thing within na which is so secret and in tractable that men have never really known whether it is the beast, mystically enthroned, or the God sitting in the underworld. The word savage used here may, perhaps be misunderstood as indicating an anim adversion against Puritanism I use the word as a compliment. For I think the probability of the matter was really this, that Puritanism was a blind and heroic protest against a world that was growing more and more rational At least we see that after the fall of Puritanism, when Cromwell's righteous Common wealth had come crashing to the ground, we sud denly find ourselves in a world of dapper commonsense.
