Dominic Ziegler Quotes
I Spent Hours Gazing Out At The Bright Rivers And Lush Meadows. How Little Different It Can Have Looked When This Was China's Outer Tartary. I Also Spent Hours Thinking About The Pivotal Moments In The Story Of The Amur, The Fur-driven Impulse That First Brought The Russians To This Place, The Manchu Repulse That Pushed Them Away, And Finally The Nineteenth-century Nationalist Urgings That Brought Them Back. It Was Like A Ball Ricocheting Over Historical Time, Absorbing Fresh Energies (including, Later, Manufactured Grievances) At Critical Points.
