“Modern society contains within itself the seed of its own destruction . . . For God's justice is a circle that slowly surrounds an evil and as slowly closes on it with crushing and resistless force — and feverish, fretting humanity, however nobly inspired, can do nothing either to hasten or retard the round, perfect, absolute, Divine Law . . . And who are travelling rapidly to the grave with no consolation save a few handfuls of base coins, which they must, preforce, leave behind them at the last.”
