    “We are superior to the joy we experience.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The victors and the vanquished then the storm it tossed and tore,
    As hard they strove, those worn-out men, upon that surly shore;
    Dead Nelson and his half-dead crew, his foes from near and far,
    Were rolled together on the deep that night at Trafalgar!”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
