“A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.”
—Marquis De Custine (17901857)
“Here well strip and cool our fire
In cream below, in milk-baths higher;
And when all wells are drawn dry,
Ill drink a tear out of thine eye.”
—Richard Lovelace (16181658)
