Description:Excerpt from Some Essays and Passages by John Eglinton: Selected by William Butler Yeats A difficulty like that experienced by religion in maintaining its ground at a time when the discovery of new facts has modified the significance of the facts on which it has rested, is experienced by patriotism at a time when culture and civilization are tending to merge the national feeling in the feeling of the brotherhood of man. This apparent loss of the patriotism which builds a state; which, perhaps, in the union of a few farmers to resist oppression, has found a soil in which new possibilities have unfolded for mankind, is one of those irreparable natural facts, like death, or the mingling of a stream with the sea, against which our philosophy is tasked to discover what solace it may, or to what new factor the displacement of the old is due. No doubt it is the most imposing production of time, a nation lying at its point of maturity, an organic whole, with refined social circles, noble and altruistic rulers, iron-willed soldiers and sailors, grave merchants, a prosperous populace, inventors, poets, philosophers (alas!), all inequalities compensated in the unifying sense of nationality - 'the while that other so majestic self stands by.' And yet nations have to die as well as individuals; and a wise sociology, like a wise philosophy, must needs look death in the face.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
