Daily Dose

From Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift

HOW OFTEN THEN I WISHED

"Imagine with thyself, courteous reader, how often I then wished for the tongue of Demosthenes or Cicero, that might have enabled me to celebrate the praises of my own dear native country in a style equal to its merits and felicity."

From Part Two: A Voyage to Brobdingnag
