    “Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. Bribery and corruption are common. Children no longer obey their parents. . . . The end of the world is evidently approaching.” Sound familiar?

    “Last night there was four Maries,
    The night there’ll be but three;
    There was Marie Seton, and Marie Beton,
    And Marie Carmichael, and me.”

    The bloom of young desire and purple light of love.
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
