    Sometimes the hardest part of my job is the incessant reminder of the fact we’re all trying so assiduously to ignore: we are here temporarily ... life is only ours on loan.

    Dule and wae for the order sent our lads to the Border;
    The English, for ance, by guile won the day:

    The prime o’ our land, are cauld in the clay.
    —Jean Elliot (1727–1805)
