The fanciful might see in this first and accidental fact the presence of this simple and practical man amid the more mystical western problems and dreams which were very...

There is an old anecdote, probably apocryphal, which describes how a feminine admirer wrote to Browning asking him for the meaning of one of his darker poems, and received the following reply: "When that poem was written, two people knew what it meant--God and Robert Browning. And now God only knows what it means.

This classic book contains the biography of Sir Thomas Aquinas, who was an Italian Dominican Priest of the Roman Catholic Church, influential philosopher and theologian of scolasticism.
