    ——?<>?—The Greatest English Ecclesiastic...

    lias left a legacy that truly enriches the

    treasury of English literature . Cardinal Newman Wrote mostly in prose and on matters of

    theology and religious belief , but in all he did he was the poet working unconsciously through

    the imagination . In some of his most signal triumphs his logic was hopelessly at fault , but

    there was always the saving grace of a nolbler 1 power , and hence what was often merely

    intended to silence a critic and gain a tem-I porary victory has passed — into literature . As of

    x Burke ~ in politics - so of Newman in theology , the distinctive note is imaginative . The light

    of imagination illumines all his works and accounts for many of his illogical actions . It

    was his imagination and not his reason that made him a convert to Rome ; it was his

    imagination that gave fire and power , and will now give permanence to his writings . He

    had the temperament of an artist who aims at effect effectand and ne he sedulously sedulously cultivated cultivated his nis guts gifts ..

    On that , , most flexible of instruments , the English language , he played like a wizard , and

    men were charmed even when they were not convinced . At its best his style is superb .

    As Mr . Lowell said of Landor , it might almost be fancied at times that he has added fresh

    stops to the organ which Milton found sufficient . Except 4 * . Carly le and Mr . Ruskin no

    such master of English prose has delighted English readers for a generation at least . Of

    him it may soberly be said that he has written

    that which the world will not willingly let die . 101
