“What an exciting age it is we live in
With all this talk about the hope of youth
And nothing made of youth.”

“It is usual for a Man who loves Country Sports to preserve the Game in his own Grounds, and divert himself upon those that belong to his Neighbour.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
