“We live our lives like fruit flies, measuring everything by the length of our own little span, which isn’t that long. We then assume that ancient history really was a long time ago, but it was not. No doubt somewhere in your town lives a person who is 100 years old. When that person was a baby, she could have been placed in the lap of someone (also 100) who was born when Thomas Jefferson was president. He in turn was born during the reign of William and Mary. And so on. Five such lives, end to end, take us back to the discovery of America. Five more, and we are visiting William the Conqueror. A total of twenty such lifetimes takes us back to the time of Christ. It was not that long ago” (The Case for Classical Christian Education, pp. 157-158).
