“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads.

—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Beauty in distress is much the most affecting beauty.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
