“The House of Lords, architecturally, is a magnificent room, and the dignity, quiet, and repose of the scene made me unwillingly acknowledge that the Senate of the United States might possibly improve its manners.

—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!”
