“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm C (l. C, 1–2)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
