    Even as Spring upon the ancient skies,
    And pondered on the glory of his days....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The old world stands serenely behind the new, as one mountain yonder towers behind another, more dim and distant. Rome imposes her story still upon this late generation.”
