    A voice I heard—and near I yede—
    In great dolour complaining tho:
    ‘See, dear soul, my sides bleed,
    Quia amore langueo.
    Unknown. Quia Amore Langueo (l. 5–8)

    A mountain chain determines many things for the statesman and philosopher. The improvements of civilization rather creep along its sides than cross its summit. How often is it a barrier to prejudice and fanaticism!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
