It Has Become Obligatory To Fulfil A Function Which Shall In Some Way Be Regarded As Useful To The Masses...even An Articulated Mass Always Tends To Become Unspiritual And Inhuman. It Is Life Without Existence, Superstition Without Faith. It May Stamp All Flat; It Is Disinclined To Tolerate Independence And Greatness, But Prone To Constrain People To Become As Automatic As Ants.
