Excerpt from Life of Reginald Pole

All this learned and cheerfully-rendered aid has helped me to keep close under the shadow of the wings of the two great angels who, as De Quincey finely says, Stand by the side of history the angel of research on the left hand, that must read millions of dusty parchments and of pages blotted with lies the angel of meditation on the right hand, that must cleanse these lying records with fire, even as of old the draperies of asbestos were cleansed, and must quicken them into regenerated life.
