“In the nightmare of the dark
All the dogs of Europe bark,
And the living nations wait,
Each sequestered in its hate;

Intellectual disgrace
Stares from every human face,
And the seas of pity lie
Locked and frozen in each eye.”

“Do we proceed further along the path of specialization…comforting ourselves with the thought that it is only all people “together” who make up Man with a capital letter?
That millions of specialized cretins will together constitute a person of brilliant all-round development?”
