" Every époque aspires to a more beautiful world.
The more dark and confused the present is, the more
profound this desire. In the waning of the Middle
Ages, life was filled with a dark melancholy... in the
15th Century it was, so to say, bad form to praise the
world and life openly. It was fashionable to see only
its suffering and misery, to discover everywhere
signs of decadence and of the near end... All that we
get to know of the moral state of the nobles points to
a sentimental need of enrobing their souls with the
garb of woe. There is hardly one who does not come
forward to affirm that he has seen nothing but misery
during his life and expects only worse things from
the future... The poet and chronicler Charles le
Temeraire chose as his motto: "So much is suffered
on The Way"; he finds a bitter taste in life, and his
portrait strikes us with his morose expression typical
of faces of that time."
HUIZINGA, The Waning of the Middle Ages.
