  Alfred de Vigny (1840). “Cinq Mars (Complete)”, p.3, Library of Alexandria

• The study of social progress is to-day not less needed in literature than
  is the analysis of the human heart. We live in an age of universal
  investigation, and of exploration of the sources of all movements.
  France, for example, loves at the same time history and the drama,
  because the one explores the vast destinies of humanity, and the other
  the individual lot of man. These embrace the whole of life. But it is the
  province of religion, of philosophy, of pure poetry only, to go beyond
  life, beyond time, into eternity.
