“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

Which, be they what they may,
Are yet the fountain light of all our day,
Are yet a master light of all our seeing;”
