The Secondary is largely made up of red worms and moles. The Tertiary comprises railway tracks, patent pavements, grass, snakes, mouldy boots, beer bottles, tomato cans, intoxicated citizens, garbage, anarchists, snap-dogs and fools.»

«For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers: / (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:) / Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart? / Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water? / Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.»
