- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)If the Italian Renaissance had never happened, Shakespeare would probably still have written plays, Louis XIV would still have built a palace at Versailles, John Harvard would still have founded a college. But no Romeo and Juliet would have loved and died in Verona, there would have been no columns at Versailles, and Latin and Greek would not have helped to mold the imaginations of the Founding Fathers of America.
