    “Oh, blank confusion! true epitome
    Of what the mighty city is herself,
    To thousands upon thousands of her sons,
    Living amid the same perpetual whirl
    Of trivial objects, melted and reduced
    To one identity, by differences
    That have no law, no meaning, and no end—”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    I and my brother against our cousin
    I, my brother and our cousin against the neighbors
    All of us against the foreigner.”
