“I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active –not more happy– nor more wise, than he was 6.000 years ago.”
(Edgar Allan Poe, carta 179, a James Russell Lowell, 2 de julio, 1844, en Poe (NY, NY) to J. R. Lowell (Cambridge, MA). W [1885], pp. 211-214.)
