These require rich and abundant animal nature, such as they possess; and if ever they become highly civilised, they will excel in music, dancing and elocution.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!”
