the dream before us
"Oh, it's delightful to have ambitions. I'm so glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be any end to them-- that's the best of it. Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still. It does make life so interesting."
— L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables)
So, is it true that the American dream is of whatever is just over the horizon? There is never end to it? Is this what drives us to keep at it, to hope for a new day, to believe that there will be change?
If so, maybe we should change our national anthem to "Somewhere over the rainbow."
