First sentence: "Every age has produced its heroes and statesmen...But the thinking man, and what is rarer the man of taste, numbers only four ages in the history of the world; four happy ages when the arts were brought to perfection...The fourth age is that which we call the age of Louis XIV; and it is perhaps of the four the one which most nearly approaches perfection."
