More From Thomas B. Macaulay

Antiquity! thou wondrous charm, what art thou? that being nothing art everything? when thou wert, thou wert not antiquity - then thou wert nothing, but hadst a remoter antiquity, as thou calledst it, to look back to with blind veneration; thou thyself being to thyself flat, jejune, modern! what mystery lurks in this retroversion? or what half januses are we, that cannot look forward with the same idolatry with which we for ever revert! the mighty future is as nothing, being everything! the past is everything, being nothing!

It hardly needs explaining at length, i think, how much authority or beauty is added to style by the timely use of proverbs. in the first place who does not see what dignity they confer on style by their antiquity alone?... and so to interweave adages deftly and appropriately is to make the language as a whole glitter with sparkles from antiquity, please us with the colours of the art of rhetoric, gleam with jewel-like words of wisdom, and charm us with titbits of wit and humour.

In england, wit is at least a profession, if not an art. everything becomes professional there, and even the rogues of that islandare pedants. so are the "wits" there too. they introduce into reality absolute freedom whose reflection lends a romantic and piquant air to wit, and thus they live wittily; hence their talent for madness. they die for their principles.
