+1 Excellent, Rico! [:D] Charles DARWIN (1809-1882), British scientist, explorer & traveller, author as a team leader for his great US contemporaries in creation and literature? I would say: "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" to such a Team Yankee: - Edgar Alan POE (1809-1849) for his short stories, poetry (The Raven), etc. - Henri David THOREAU (1817-1862) for Walden, Walking (NOT Dead), Civil Disobedience, his innumerable aphorisms & essays. - Mark TWAIN (1835-1910) for Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court... They're all very great American people! And still universal authors, too (IMO). - Shame on me: I've forgotten Ralph Waldo EMERSON (1803-1882), who wrote: "Every man is superior to me when I learn from his contact." I like America! And a lot of other countries too... Lilian [:)] [image]local://upfiles/53500/49E6B030623642ACA49599DE8316ECBF.jpg[/image]
