Excerpt from Historical Sketches, Vol. 2: The Church of the Fathers; St. Chrysostom; Theodoret; Mission of St. Benedict; Benedictine Schools Keeping the heart awake till dawn of morn, While to her funeral pile this aged world is borne. However, I am attempting here, neither the grand outlines, nor the living details of the century, but some scenes or passages which chronologically or morally belong to it. And I preface them with this allusion to the century itself, because they are thereby duly located, and receive their proper colour. And now, without more words, I shall begin my course, travelling after the sun from East to West: beginning with Greece and Asia Minor, and then visiting, in succession, Egypt, Africa, Spain, and Gaul, where I shall come to an end.
