BTW, for annotation purposes, I believe he's referring to G.K. Chesterton, possibly the book Everlasting Man. This book seems to have heavily impacted Lewis.
One of my favourite concepts is Lewis' equation of "Sehnsucht" (what Lewis considers "Romanticism") with the human yearning for Heaven. It's an extraordinarily fascinating concept to me.
