    “The banners flashing through the trees
    Make their blood dance and chain their eyes;

    Arrests them with a charm’d surprise.

    Ye shy recluses, follow too!”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    Some vague Utopia—and she seems,
    When withered old and skeleton-gaunt,
    An image of such politics.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I think all men know better than they do; know that the institutions we so volubly commend are go-carts and baubles; but they dare not trust their presentiments.”
