"It is a noble faculty of ours which enables us to collect our thoughts, our sympathies and our happiness with what is distant in place or times - to hold communion with our ancestors. We become their contemporaries, live the lives they lived, endure what they have endured and partake of the rewards which they have enjoyed."
--Daniel Webster
