I have been hearing from the West and the East, and the South seems to be the only section which approves of me at all, and that comes from merely a generous impulse, for even that section would deny me its votes.”

    Of the long-batter’d world uplifts its wall;

    And night as welcome as a friend would fall.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
