    Come on, poor babe,
    Some powerful spirit instruct the kites and ravens
    To be thy nurses. Wolves and bears, they say,
    Casting their savageness aside, have done
    Like offices of pity.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    All the isms are wasms—except one, the most powerful ism of this century, indeed, of the entire democratic age, which is nationalism.
