"In those days it was a god and they worshipped it. There were no churches and there were no idols, but their religion was strong and powerful, because it lived in their minds. It was not forgotten between holy days, to be resurrected anew periodically. It was with them always; it was at the very bottom of the well of their being, from which all thought sprung and was influenced and molded. It was: Youth."
