In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”

“May my application so close
To so endless a repetition
Not make me tired and morose
And resentful of man’s condition.”
