That grammar school of courtesies
Where wit and beauty learned their trade
Upon Urbinos windy hill,

“The trail of the serpent reaches into all the lucrative professions and practices of man. Each has its own wrongs. Each finds a tender and very intelligent conscience a disqualification for success.
