    “The mountains look on Marathon—
    And Marathon looks on the sea;
    And musing there an hour alone,
    I dreamed that Greece might still be free;
    For standing on the Persians’ grave,
    I could not deem myself a slave.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week.”
    —William Dean Howells (1837–1920)
