    is the term I think of,
    insensible,
    neither cool nor warm,
    without a head or a foot.
    To be drunk is to be intimate with a fool.

    Two things in America are astonishing: the changeableness of most human behavior and the strange stability of certain principles. Men are constantly on the move, but the spirit of humanity seems almost unmoved.
