Spatial ordering dominated but never wholly replaced appearential order
Evidence
In the evaluation of the dominant moods of any historical period it is important to hold fast to the fact that there are always islands of self-sufficient order-on farms and in castles, in homes, studies, and cloisters-where sensible people manage to live relatively lusty and decent lives: as moral as they can be, as free as they may be, as masterly as they can be. — Philip Chase Bobbitt, Reflections Inspired by My Critics, 860 (
