It is with literature as with law or empire — an established name is an estate in tenure, or a throne in possession.
The Foundation of Empire is Art and Science. Remove them or Degrade them, and the Empire is No More. Empire follows Art and Not Vice Versa.
Even though the realms of religion and science in themselves are clearly marked off from each other, nevertheless there exist between the two strong reciprocal relationships and dependencies.
Even the conflicts and the realm of religion would be exposed as insignificant.
A great Empire, like a great Cake, is most easily diminished at the Edges.
