    “There is too much sour grapes for my taste in the present American attitude. The time to denounce the bankers was when we were all feeding off their gold plate; not now! At present they have not only my sympathy but my preference. They are the last representatives of our native industries.”
    —Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

    “Eftsoones the Nymphes, which now had Flowers their fill,
    Ran all in haste, to see that silver brood,
    As they came floating on the Christal Flood,”
