He felt a zeal beyond the reach of art. While look and voice and gesture all. expressed A kindred ardour in the player's breast, Till, as the flame through all his bosom ran He lost the actor, and commenced the man; Professed the faith his Pagan gods denied. And what he acted then, he after died. Lloyd. The Stage remained under a cloud for nearly two centuries, when it was made use of, for instruc- tive purposes only, in the Miracle Plays. Gregory of Nazianzen, an early father of the Church, is... said to have constructed a drama on " The Passion of our Savioui^," to counteract the profanities of the 45 .Heathen Stage. There you see was Stage against Stage ; employed for the grandest teaching in the world. That play, I believe, is occasionally performed in Denmark and France, and a greatly improved version in Germany. There was a most interesting account of it in the Daily Telegraph of June 30 and July 1, 1871. To my mind the Passion Play as acted at Ammergau is high art — living art. I can conceive few things more intensely interesting.
