    The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal.

    To the horror of all who were present that day,
    He uprose in full evening dress,
    And with senseless grimaces endeavoured to say
    What his tongue could no longer express.
