Description:Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Aubrey De Vere, Vol. 3: Alexander the Great; Saint Thomas of Canterbury; And Other Poems During the last century it was thought philosophical to sneer at the Macedonian madman, and moral to declaim against him as a bandit. Maturer re ection has led us to the discovery that a fool's luck help ing a robber's ambition could hardly have enabled a youth but twenty-two years of age when he began his enterprise to conquer half the world in ten years. The ancients made no such mistake. They admired, and therefore they understood. Heroism stood be fore them, and they could see it; though, with their lights, they could not note its limitations or appre ciate the evil that vitiated the greatness.
