That it seems to call out to me from forty years ago,
When you were all aglow,
And not the thin ghost that I now frailly follow!”

“This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how things work. They are equipped. Up there, there’s a layer of people who run everything. But we—we’re just peasants. We don’t understand what’s going on, and we can’t do anything.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
