  9. He is called an optimist; but the word suggests a calculated contentment which was not in the least one of his vices. What he really was was a romantic.

He was a troubadour even in theology and metaphysics: like the Jongleurs de Dieu of St. Francis. He may be said to have serenaded heaven with a guitar, and even, so to speak, tried to climb there with a rope ladder.
