    “It is cotter-pinned, it is bedded true.
    Everything its parts can do
    Has been thought out and accounted for.
    Your least touch sets it going round,
    And when top stop it rests with you.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “This is a strange little complacent country, in many ways a U.S.A. in miniature but of course nearer the center of disturbance!”
