We shall
learn to
draw rents
and
revenues
from the
immense
patrimony
of the old

teaches
courage,
and the
equivalence
of all

disadvantages
of any
epoch

hovers
with his
sunshine
and music
close by
the
darkest
and
deafest
eras. No
mortgage,
no
attainder,
will hold
on men or
hours. The
world is
young: the
former
great men
call to us
affectionately.
