“Near-synonym: benchmark”
“criterion of choice, of decision, of selection”
“Knowledge has come to her too soon—knowledge of evil, unqualified by the general charities which longer experience infallibly brings; but her age has lent its own freshness to this first great emotion; it becomes unconsciously a criterion, and the judgment is harsh, because the remembrance is bitter.”

From an "ideological" point of view, it liberated art from its feudal religious and courtly servitude.”
