“These marbles, the works of the dreamers and idealists of old, live on, leading and pointing to good. They are the works of visionaries and dreamers, but they are realizations of soul, the representations of the ideal. They are grand, beautiful, and true, and they speak with a voice that echoes through the ages. Governments have changed; empires have fallen; nations have passed away; but these mute marbles remainthe oracles of time, the perfection of art.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“If ever you prove false to one another, since I have taken such pain to bring you together, let all pitiful goers-between be called to the worlds end after my name; call them all Pandars.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
