“An Englishman, methinks,—not to speak of other European nations,—habitually regards himself merely as a constituent part of the English nation; he is a member of the royal regiment of Englishmen, and is proud of his company, as he has reason to be proud of it.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The nonchalance and dolce-far-niente air of nature and society hint at infinite periods in the progress of mankind.”

Above the staggering girl,”
