Perry D. Westbrook Quotes

Since The Days Of Peter The Great, Russia Had Looked To The West For Her Civilization, Even To The Extend Of Adopting French As A Second Language - Or As A First For People Of Station And Learning. The United States, Recently Cut Loose Politically From England, Still Drew Heavily On The Old World For Her Art, Literature, Science And Philosophy. Intellectuals From Both Nations Flocked To Europe In Search Of Eduction And Aesthetic Stimulation, And Many Became So Enthralled With European Civilization That They Failed To Return. In Russia As Well As In The United States Many An Indignant Patriot Would Rant About The Need For Serving European Apron Strings.
