Loveliness, magic, grace,
They are here! They are set in the world,
They abide; and the finest of souls
Hath not been thrill'd by them all,
Nor the dullest been dead to them quite.

The Old and the young

"There is the moral of all human tales;
'Tis but the same rehearsal of the past,
First freedom, and then Glory--when that fails,
Wealth, vice, corruption,--barbarism at last.
And History, will all her volumes vast,
Hath but one page..."

--Lord Byron

Barbarism: An offense against purity of style or language;
Ignorance of arts;
Want of learning;
Rudeness of manners, incivility, ferociousness,
A savage state of society
Brutality, cruelty

(Lest you think I'm pessimistic, I would say it's going to cycle around again and how fast we get to the next chapter depends on you and me!)

This quote is on the back of Volume 3 of Catch the Vision. It's the prescriptive cure to what's ailing our country:

"There is only one way to improve the taste of a nation. It cannot be done in a hurry and it cannot be done by force. It can only be accomplished by exposing the people patiently to that which is truly 'good,' to that which is truly 'noble'..

"Try and persuade our children to make the good choice for themselves by exposing them just as much as possible to that which is a true product of divine inspiration and honest human craftmanship....

"In the end, those able to see and look for themselves will then make the right decisions and because they will do it on their own volition, it will be a lasting one"

--Hendrik Willem Van Loon
