Owen Barfield Quotes
When We Recall The Great Influence Which Spenser's Poetry Has Exerted On English Poets Who Have Lived And Written Since His Day, We Can Clearly See How The Two Kinds Of Platonism - A Direct Platonism, And A Platonism Long Ago Transmuted And Worked Right Down Into The Emotions Of Common People By The Passionate Christianity Of The Dark And Middle Ages - Combined To Beget The Infinite Suggestiveness Which Is Now Contained In Such Words As 'love' And 'beauty'. Let Us Remember, Then, That Every Time We Abuse These Terms, Or Use Them Too Lightly, We Are Draining Them Of Their Power; Every Time A Society Journalist Or A Film Producer Exploits This Vast Suggestiveness To Tickle A Vanity Or Dignify A Lust, He Is Squandering A Great Pile Of Spiritual Capital Which Has Been Laid Up By Centuries Of Weary Effort.
