“For my part, I simply happen to enjoy the Latin language—the sound of its vowels and the forms of its inflections, its ruggedness, its majesty, and its conciseness. Even the comparatively diffuse Cicero, of whom Quintilian says that not a word can be added to his copious flow, seems a model of economy when one reads many a modern novel, speech, critical review, or even a presidential sentence.”
