That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”

But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
