—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Climate of Egypt in winter is the reign of spring upon earth, & summer in the air, and tranquility in the heat.”

That grammar school of courtesies
Where wit and beauty learned their trade
Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
Had sent no runners to and fro
That he might learn the shepherds’ will.”
