<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 1057949, member: 9204&quot;]I recommend a passage from Alexander Pope&#039;s letter to Mr. Addision, Occasioned by his Dialogue on Medals:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ambition sigh&#039;d: she found it vain to trust</p><p>The faithless column, and the crumbling bust: </p><p>Huge moles, whose shadow stretch&#039;d from shore to shore,</p><p>Their ruins perish&#039;d, and their place no more!</p><p>Convinced, she now contracts her vast design,</p><p>And all her triumphs shrink into a coin.</p><p>A narrow orb each crowded conquest keeps,</p><p>Beneath her palm, here sad Judaea weeps.</p><p>Now scantier limits the proud arch confine,</p><p>And scarce are seen the prostrate Nile or Rhine;</p><p>A small Euphrates through the piece is roll&#039;d,</p><p>And little eagles wave their wings in gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
