    Bare night is best. Bare earth is best. Bare, bare,
    Except for our own houses, huddled low
    Beneath the arches and their spangled air,
    Beneath the rhapsodies of fire and fire,
    Where the voice that is in us makes a true response....

    Long accustomed to the use of European manufactures, [the Cherokee Indians] are as incapable of returning to their habits of skins and furs as we are, and find their wants the less tolerable as they are occasioned by a war [the American Revolution] the event of which is scarcely interesting to them.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
