Something innately aesthetical in the student, which made him adore the exquisitely wrought, impelled him now to be the slave the devotee the worshiper of this masterpiece of Nature. Perhaps she stood in need of a defender? The place was historically favored for adventures. In 1543, the riot of Knights and Knaves had begun here.
Not so! the Poet is the worshiper of Ideal Beauty, and for him the brief passions of mortal men and women serve as mere pastime to while away an hour!
As motive forces in social life are almost invariably to be obtained from individuals, Lloyd George without shame and without hesitation has proceeded to use individualities wherever he found them suitable for his purpose.
