writer: ‘I have wandered with pleasure in the most gloomy 
recesses of this last resort of grandeur, to contemplate human 
life, and trace mankind through all the wilderness of their 
frailties and misfortunes, from their cradles to their graves. I 
have reflected on the shortness of our duration here, and that I 
was but one of the millions who had been employed in the same 
manner in ruminating on the trophies of mortality before me; 
and that I must moulder to dust in the same manner, and quit 
the scene without leaving the shadow of my existence behind 
me; that this huge fabric, the sacred depository of fame and 
erandeur, would receive new accessions of noble dust, would be 
adorned with other sepulchres of cost and magnificence, and, at 
last, by the unavoidable decays of time, bury the whole collection 
of antiquities in general obscurity, and be the monument of its 
own ruin.”
