The best short stories were written by a man trying to preach Imperialism. The best plays were written by a man trying to preach Socialism. All the art of all the artists looked tiny and tedious beside the art which was a byproduct of propaganda. The reason, indeed, is very simple. A man cannot be wise enough to be a great artist without being wise enough to wish to be a philosopher.

Indeed, they are not barbarous at all in the harsh modern sense of the word; yet the Greeks would have condemned them. The neo-Gaul is an innovator and this is his vice.
