The Monitor's View: Quote (1)

All inquiry into antiquity, all curiosity respecting the pyramids, the excavated cities, Stonehenge, the Ohio Circles, Mexico, Memphis, is the desire to do away [with] this wild, savage, and preposterous There or Then, and introduce in its place the Here and the Now. It is to banish the not mem and supply the mem. It is to abolish difference and restore unity.
