The democratization of society, which Burke and de Maistre and Carlyle and Renan had done everything possible to prevent, had become a reality that Maurras and Spengler, Barrès, Croce and Sorrel and innumerable rebels of every kind wished to destroy in the name of civilization and the mother country. - The Anti-enlightenment Tradition by Zeev Sternhell, pg. 315
Carlyle and de Maistre must be temperamentally very close to each other.
