He wrote, 鈥淚 wanted to show the intensity of the vital energy of a given time, and of course that intensity had to be stated in its two highest terms-religion and art.鈥�
Henry Adams鈥� record of his journeys through France, searching for images of unity in an age of conflict, is accompanied by observations on literature, politics, religion, and maior church leaders such as Abelard, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Thomas Aquinas.
