On January 9th, 2008, at a fundraiser in NYC, I bashfully said to Barack Obama that I had a quote for him...and then recited William Wordsworth's famous line at the onset of the French Revolution, so inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment:
Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,
But to be young was very heaven.
The quote was apt then, it is doubly apt now.
