    Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
    Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
    Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
    And desolation saddens all thy green;
    One only master grasps the whole domain,
    And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;
    Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)

    It’s a complex fate, being an American, and one of the responsibilities it entails is fighting against a superstitious valuation of Europe.
    Henry James (1843–1916)
