Ideals of the East. E-book. Formato PDF ebook di Herbert Baynes

The Ideals of the East may be shortly classified as the ethical, the metaphysical, the theosophical and the religious. In many respects they differ from those of the West, but, for this very reason, are highly interesting and instructive. To the Occident we look for Law, to the Orient for Light. Believing that this Light is best expressed rhythmically, that poetry is the most fitting medium for rendering those lofty Ideals of Reason with which alone we are con cerned, I have in each case given a metrical rendering of the original. The diction of the idealist, whether in India or Greece, is not that of the crowd it is one full of types and tropes.
