"These people are happy—their wants are satisfied, their desires fulfilled—their capacities of enjoyment meet with full employment—they are well fed, well clothed, well housed; moderate labour insures them all this, and leaves them leisure for such recreations as they are capable of enjoying; but how is it with me? And I mean not me myself alone, but all who, like myself, have received a higher degree of mental cultivation, whose estimate of happiness is, therefore, so much higher, whose capacity for enjoyment is so much more expanded and cultivated; can I be satisfied with a race in a circular railroad car, or a swing between the lime-trees? Where are my peculiar objects of pleasure and recreation? Where are the picture-galleries—the sculptures—the works of art and science—the countless wonders of human ingenuity and skill—the cultivated and refined society—the intercourse with men of genius, literature, scientific knowledge—where are all the sources from which I am to draw my recreations?" Fanny Kemble
