Emmanuel Leutze,
Westward the Course of Empire Taken Its Way (1861)
(at the Smithsonian American Art Museum)
Westward the Course of Empire Taken Its Way (1861)
(at the Smithsonian American Art Museum)
Westward the Course of
Empire takes its Way;
The four first Acts already past,
A fifth shall close the Drama with the Day;
Time's noblest Offspring is the last.
~ George Berkeley, "Verses on the Prospect of Planting Arts and
Learning
in America," 1752
