Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide for ever,
Flowing by the throne of God?”

“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes....
