    People must not do things for fun. We are not here for fun. There is no reference to fun in any act of Parliament.

    Say, is there Beauty yet to find?
    And Certainty? And Quiet kind?
    Deep meadows yet, for to forget
    The lies, and truths, and pain? . . . oh!
    Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
    And is there honey still for tea?
    —Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)
