It would be necessary only to know the genus and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual. We are not prepared to believe that every private soldier in a Roman army had a name of his own,because we have not supposed that he had a character of his own.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I know that Europes wonderful, yet something seems to lack;
The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.”
