è costui Che viene a consolar la nostra mente, Ed è la sua tanto possente, Ch’altro pensier non lascia star con nui.

No words, surely, could better express the intensity with which Ibsen had pressed his moral quality, his
virtù
, upon the Norwegian conscience, not halting in his pursuit till he had captured it and had banished from it all other ideals of conduct. No one who knows will doubt that the recent events in which Norway has taken so chivalric, and at the same time so winning and gracious, an attitude in the eyes of the world, owe not a little to their being the work of a generation nurtured in that new temper of mind, that
spiritel nuovo d’amore
which was inculcated by the whole work of Ibsen.
