He was following out, in his own mind, the notion of addressing an ode to her in the character of the young Madonna the uninstructed Madonna without that look of pensive suffering painters put into her eyes.

I seemed to be the first lover who had ever used this phrase. My heart originated it, with a sense of surprise at my own imaginative quality. I was chloroformed with joy. Oh, I loved her!

The instruments of earthly power King, Pope, bishops, priests, soldiers, and spies were all arrayed against him.

Almost from the first scholars, students, and men of learning were attracted by the irresistible charm of his wonderful moral persuasiveness; they gave in their adherence to him in a vague hope that by contact with his surpassing holiness virtue would go out of him, and that somehow the divine goodness which he magnified as the one thing needful would be communicated to them and supply that which was lacking in themselves; but they could not bring themselves to believe that culture and holiness were incompatible or that nearness to God was possible only to those who were ignorant and uninstructed.
