Fussy about their training

-fussy about who rides them. Personally I find it's the only way. For instance, I don't much care to lead in a lucky winner; but it gives me the rarest pleasure to watch any thoroughbred ridden to a faultless victory.

THE French Revolution is, on

of showing, one supreme stages in the history of human émancipation. It swept aside a corrupt and effete aristocracy whose privileges stood in the way of a more creative fulfilment of personality. It compelled the vision not merely of the forms of the State. (in itself a vital matter) but, even more, of that principle of class relationship which, in every society, gives living substance to those forms. And, as Burke so ma- gisterially saw, it was not less a revolution of ideas than a reforma- tion of institutions. Like the Rus- sian Revolution in our own day, it compelled a profound reassessment of all social values. The impact of that compulsion was felt all over Western civilisation. Its momen- tum was 80 vast that not even the intensity of the reaction it provoked could destroy the effectiveness of its constitutive principle.
