“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”

“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
