“Some burn damp faggots, others may consume
The entire combustible world in one small room
As though dried straw, and if we turn about
The bare chimney is gone black out
Because the work had finished in that flare.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“It was the supreme expression of the mediocrity of the apparatus that Stalin himself rose to his position.”
