Age of Enlightenment2 quotes
The age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators, has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished for ever. — Edmund Burke · 1790In the deep windings of the grove, no more

Nor in the fall of mountain-stream, or roar
Of winds is heard the angry spirit's yell. — James Beattie · 1774
