CHAPTER VI
ATHENS
In Athens! Shall one mount the Acropolis or enter the market place?Worship in the temple of the Virgin Athena, or descend to the Agora andthe roar of its getters and spenders? For Athens has two faces--toward theideal, toward the commonplace. Who can regard both at once? Let theAcropolis, its sculptures, its landscape, wait. It has waited for menthree thousand years. And so to the Agora.
