Excerpt from The Scholar in Politics

Chivalry, in its primary manifestations and in its original picturesqueness - the chivalry of prancing steeds and waving plumes, and glittering armor, of personal adven ture and heroic feats of arms, of jousts and tournaments before high-born ladies whose bright eyes rain in¿uence and judge the prize - chivalry of that form has forever disappeared.
