    Our public monuments are memorials to the Enlightenment.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Blows the wind to-day, and the sun and the rain are flying,
    Blows the wind on the moors to-day and now,
    Where about the graves of the martyrs the whaups are crying,
    My heart remembers how!
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
