    Ages when custom is unsettled are necessarily ages of prophecy. The moralist cannot teach what is revealed; he must reveal what can be taught. He has to seek insight rather than to preach.

    Our graves that hide us from the searching sun
    Are like drawn curtains when the play is done.
    Thus march we, playing, to our latest rest,
    Only, we die in earnest—that’s no jest.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

    The simple opposition between the people and big business has disappeared because the people themselves have become so deeply involved in big business.
