To the same Pageant wends its way
As that exalted here—”

“The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, “That is all there was!” But twist them all together and you have something tremendous.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
