Drawn from what Matthew Arnold said
What Matthew Arnold actually said
- Matthew Arnold English poet and cultural critic (1822 to 1888)
If we look at the world outside us we find a disquieting absence of sure authority; we discover that only in right reason can we get a source of sure authority, and culture brings us towards right reason.
