    “The land of joy, the lovely glades of the fortunate woods and the home of the blest.”
    —Virgil [Publius Vergilius Maro] (70–19 B.C.)

    “A higher class, in the estimation and love of this city- building, market-going race of mankind, are the poets, who, from the intellectual kingdom, feed the thought and imagination with ideas and pictures which raise men out of the world of corn and money, and console them for the short-comings of the day, and the meanness of labor and traffic.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
