“The conqueror at least; who, ere Time renders
His last award, will have the long grass grow
Above his burnt-out brain and sapless cinders.
If I might augur, I should rate but low
Their chances: they are too numerous, like the thirty
Mock tyrants, when Rome’s annals wax’d but dirty.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Europe is, perhaps, the least worn-out of the continents, because it is the most lived in. A place that is lived in lives.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
