"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
