...imagination can picture to itself no pleasanter fancies than those connected with the early and best days of art, the first and grandest development of civilization. Before the days of stern practicality, when men had time to admire the beautiful, and each race, as it emerged from barbarism, turned instinctively to the representation of beauty as the natural expression of its more refined feelings, there existed what may well be called the "golden ages" of art.
