“Report of fashions in proud Italy,
Whose manners still our tardy-apish nation
Limps after in base imitation.”

“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes....
