Not with more self-abnegation will the latter keep his vows of monastic obedience than the former his vows of allegiance to martial duty.” “There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.” | ||||||
