Looking over all the fields
of possibility, and the coming
stretches of civilization, and the
predestined marches of freedom
and knowledge – whither shall
we turn our eyes in search of a
more commodious locality, a
more eligible situation, a more
entrancing scene, than this very
one, as the consummation of all
human desire, and the chosen seat
of the beauty and glory of the vast
and wonderful city of the great
world's greater hereafter.
