"The English are a dumb people. They can do great acts but not describe them. Like the old Romans, and some few others, their epic poem is written on the earth's surface: England her mark! … The spoken word, the written poem, is said to be an epitome of the man; how much more the done work. Whatsoever of morality and of intelligence; what of patience, perseverance, faithfulness, of method, insight, ingenuity, energy; in a word, whatsoever of strength the man had in him, will be written in the work he does."
