The American Experiment
The Vineyard of Liberty
James MacGregor Burns
To the vital cadres of history—the archivists, librarians, research assistants, and secretaries—who make possible the writing of history
I sought in my heart to give myself unto wine; I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards; I made me gardens and orchards, and pools to water them; I got me servants and maidens, and great possessions of cattle; I gathered me also silver and gold, and men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all sorts, and whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and behold! all was vanity and vexation of spirit! I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as light excelleth darkness.
From Ecclesiastes, as quoted by Thomas Jefferson, 1816
