Did what he had to do,
He died upon the gallows
But that is nothing new.”

as the light of a happy eye, live with the grace
of all that in the mind is fleckless, free and
naturally to be desired.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
—Donald M. Lowe, U.S. historian, educator. History of Bourgeois Perception, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1982)
