“Histories of the world omitted China; if a Chinaman invented compass or movable type or gunpowder we promptly “forgot it” and named their European inventors. In short, we regarded China as a sort of different and quite inconsequential planet.”

“Heaven-gates are not so highly arched
As princes’ palaces: they that enter there
Must go upon their knees.”
