THE idea of liberty has ultimately a religious root; that is why men find it so easy to die for and so difficult to define. It refers finally to the fact that, while the oyster and the palm tree have to save their lives by law, man has to save his soul by choice. Ruskin rebuked Coleridge for praising freedom, and said that no man would wish the sun to be free. G. K. Chesterton, The Free Man in A Miscellany of Men, 1912Chesterton's normal wit, wisdom, and humor are bound up in thiscollection of essay's from his "Daily News" column.
