Great Paris tolled her bell
And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”

“Consider the China pride and stagnant self-complacency of mankind. This generation inclines a little to congratulate itself on being the last of an illustrious line; and in Boston and London and Paris and Rome, thinking of its long descent, it speaks of its progress in art and science and literature with satisfaction.... It is the good Adam contemplating his own virtue.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The awakening of the people of China to the possibilities under free government is the most significant, if not the most momentous, event of our generation.”
