Yet this tiny country has given us an art which we, with it and all that the world has done since it for our models, have equalled perhaps, but not surpassed.

It has given us the staple of our vocabulary in every domain of thought and knowledge.

Politics, tyranny, democracy, anarchism, philosophy, physiology, geology, history--these are all Greek words.

It has seized and up to the present day kept hold of our higher education.

It has exercised an unfailing fascination, even on minds alien or hostile.
