Land Of Hope And Glory

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet,
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.

    ““I am of Ireland,
    And the Holy Land of Ireland,
    And time runs on,” cried she.
    “Come out of charity
    And dance with me in Ireland.””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “That impersonal insensitive friendliness which takes the place of ceremony in that land of waifs and strays.”
    —Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    “I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
    —Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)

    “But can see better there, and laughing there
    Pity the giants wallowing on the plain.
    ...
    Pygmies expand in cold impossible air,
    Cry fie on the giantshine, poor glory which
    Pounds breast-bone punily, screeches, and has
    Reached no Alps: or, knows no Alps to reach.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
