    Perhaps a few words on the implacable will
    Of time sailing like a magic barque
    Or something as fine for the amenities....

    The correct rate of speed in innovating changes in long-standing social customs has not yet been determined by even the most expert of the experts. Personally I am beginning to think there is more danger in lagging than in speeding up cultural change to keep pace with mechanical change.
