Drawn from what Matthew Arnold said
What Matthew Arnold actually said
- Matthew Arnold English poet and cultural critic (1822 to 1888)
It seeks to do away with classes; to make all live in an atmosphere of sweetness and light, and use ideas, as it uses them itself, freely,—to be nourished and not bound by them. This is the social idea; and the men of culture are the true apostles of equality.
