Statesmanship and craft prevented the dead from being famous like Cromwell and Milton. But what is fame anyway? Read Thomas Gray's poem, 'Elegy Written In A Country Churchyard. He mentions that every village will have 'a mute inglorious Milton' and 'a Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood' among its forefathers, who were always careful not to go too much in anything.
