“This seems a long while ago, and yet it happened since Milton wrote his Paradise Lost. But its antiquity is not the less great for that, for we do not regulate our historical time by the English standard, nor did the English by the Roman, nor the Roman by the Greek.... From this September afternoon, and from between these now cultivated shores, those times seemed more remote than the dark ages.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The Knight of the Doleful Countenance.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

“Military glory—the attractive rainbow that rises in showers of blood.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
