    The earth is covered thick with other clay,
    Which her own clay shall cover, heaped and pent,

    burial blent!

    While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
