Overview

Excerpt from Echoes of Wisdom or Talmudic Sayings With Classic, Especially Latin, Parallelisms, Vol. 1 In presenting Talmud and Classics together, the object is not to throw the charge of plagiarism at any door, but to bring the Talmud nearer to the under standing of at least some of the many who, lacking all knowledge of the same, profanely disparage it. The beautiful form is not the chief boast of the Classics. They are at their noblest when glorifying some metaphysical or practical truth. Where that is absent they fail to charm us. Homer and Virgil, Plato and Cicero have no fascination in spite of their rhythmic and blossoming diction when they correct no error, improve no moral, clarify no idea, and elevate no truth.
