What would come of it all if you taught history? Fundamentally, of course, you are always teaching history, and have opened up some astonishing historical perspectives ... but I mean-if you were to illuminate history ex professo, with your particular lights and from your particular angle of vision: by comparison with the present consensus populorum everything would be stood on its head in the most splendid fashion! Jacob Burckhardt to Friedrich Nietzsche (1882)1
