Rouse up, O Young Men of the New Age!
A. Bush
Rouse up, O Young Men of the New Age! Set your foreheads against the
ignorant hirelings! For we have hirelings in the Camp, the Court, and
the University, who would, if they could, for ever depress mental, and
prolong corporeal war. [Painters! on you I call. Sculptors!
Architects! suffer not the fashionable fools to depress your powers by
the prices they pretend to give for contemptible works, or the
expensive advertising boasts that they make of such
works:] believe Christ and His Apostles that there is a
class of men whose whole delight is in destroying. [We
do not want either Greek or Roman models if we are but just and true
to our own Imaginations, those Worlds of Eternity in which we shall
live for ever, in Jesus our Lord. ]
