The rivers of INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACIES 133 western Europe flow north and south, facilitating the downward incursion of the barbaric tribes. But the Danube permitted a stand to be taken against them. This barrier saved Constantinople, whilst Rome and Athens succumbed. Thus through a thousand years, Constantinople had been the refuge of the arts of the classic world. Again...st the Saracen, in the other direc- tion, she had long been the watcher at the gate of Europe. Because she kept that watch with faithfulness much of the civilization we possess to-day is due.
For most of the Crusaders, Constantinople was their first sight of a city. And it was a spectacle eminently calculated to impress them. Here schools were flourish- ing; the academies of Rome and the porticoes of Greece, that had hither fled for shelter. Constantinople was the renowned city of the world; famed for her tapestry weavings, her ceramic art, philosophy, forensic oratory, and imposing ceremonial of state.
