Word Usage

"In the early Dramatic Lyrics and Romances, and in the plays, there is exquisite rendering of religion, and also of irreligion; but the religion is just the simple faith of Pippa or of Theocrite that “God's in his world”; and the irreligion is the Humanist paganism of St Praxed's, not so much hostile to Christianity as unconscious of it."
