    “When I think of my own native land,
    In a moment I seem to be there;

    Soon hurries me back to despair.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)

    “The religion of England is part of good-breeding. When you see on the continent the well-dressed Englishman come into his ambassador’s chapel and put his face for silent prayer into his smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride prays with him, and the religion of a gentleman.”
