“The American doctrinaire is the converse of the American demagogue, and, in this way, is scarcely less injurious to the public. The first deals in poetry, the last in cant. He is as much a visionary on one side, as the extreme theoretical democrat is a visionary on the other.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

“Vanquished in life, his death
By beauty made amends:
The passing of his breath
Won his defeated ends.”
—Lionel Pigot Johnson (1867–1902)
