And not among the half-distinguished faces,
The clouded forms of long-past history.”

“While most of today’s jobs do not require great intelligence, they do require greater frustration tolerance, personal discipline, organization, management, and interpersonal skills than were required two decades and more ago. These are precisely the skills that many of the young people who are staying in school today, as opposed to two decades ago, lack.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)

That turns and changes like his draughty seas?
Or is there none, most popular of men,
But when they mock us, that we mock again?”
