We make too much of that long groan which underlines the past.
Americans are not brought up with meter. They're not brought up with poetry. If you try to get them to recite, they're too embarrassed.
We read, we travel, we become.
Art is History's nostalgia, it prefers a thatched roof to a concrete factory, and the huge church above a bleached village.
The future happens. No matter how much we scream.
There's always more to see.
