And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”

How glad I was he had come like a guest in quiet, to drink at my
water-trough

Into the burning bowels of this earth?”

“Was this the face that launch’d a thousand ships,
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?”
