    “Thus for each blunt-faced ignorant one
    The great grey rigid uniform combined
    Safety with virtue of the sun.
    Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”

    “One of the tests of the civilization of people is the treatment of its criminals.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
