    Points, cypress and conifers,

    Coarsened fertility against the frost.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “The true courage of civilized nations is readiness for sacrifice in the service of the state, so that the individual counts as only one amongst many. The important thing here is not personal mettle but aligning oneself with the universal.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “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.”
