.... essential quality of art in the Middle Ages. A fairly ingenuous first-year doctoral student, I read Pater's description and recognized precisely that quality of the literature of the Middle Ages that I find so compelling.

.... 1903 essay, “The Negro Problem,” quoted in the Appendix of , and begin: “The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men.” These exceptional men, and Du Bois did mean men, would "guide the Mass away from the contamination and death of the Worst.” The Talented Tenth would shoulder the task of uplifting the race without succumbing to money-grubbing selfishness; their formal education signified their intelligence and enlightened character. In 1903, the Talented Tenth was broadminded and big-hearted by definition. The passa .....
