    Is the study of man, this image of Saturday,
    This Italian symbol, this Southern landscape, is like

    Within the very object that we seek,
    Participants of its being.”

    “This happy breed of men, this little world,
    This precious stone set in the silver sea,
    Which serves it in the office of a wall,
    Or as a moat defensive to a house,
    Against the envy of less happier lands,
    This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
