“I declare this tower is my symbol; I declare
This winding, gyring, spiring treadmill of a stair is my ancestrail stair;
That Goldsmith and the Dean, Berkeley and Burke have travelled there.”

“In childhood, death stirred me not; in middle age, it pursued me like a prowling bandit on the road; now, grown an old man, it boldly leads the way, and ushers me on.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
