    Like a French poem is life; being only perfect in structure
    When with the masculine rhymes mingled the feminine are.

    Loss of freedom seldom happens overnight. Oppression doesn’t stand on the doorstep with toothbrush moustache and swastika armband—it creeps up insidiously ... step by step, and all of a sudden the unfortunate citizen realises that it is gone.
