βI marched with Rolandβs band through the Pyrenees, I was with Xenophon and the ten thousand when they first beheld the Black Sea; I retreated with Napoleonβs Grande ArmΓ©e over the steppes of Russia; beheld the Divine through the eyes of Β Saint Augustine; charged with Gustavus Β Adolphusβ cavalry at LΓΌtzen, and listened to Socrates on the marble benches of Athens; all through my books. Do you expect me to care about your Modern Art, Television, Fast Food, Fast Sex and Slow Death?β
