A great city whose image dwells in the memory of man is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world Art.

Childbirth is more admirable than conquest more amazing than self-defense and as courageous as either one.
