Pour out the Virgin and Saints, twist and untwist
The mortal youth of Christ astride an ass.”

“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)
“My spirit is broken, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 17:1.
