ANIMALCULES IN
PEPPER WATER
(john adams)
Ulterior motives are nothing, this is
America my friend : the place where
all men glisten alike. Gold being dross,
as dross is gold, means nothing - no
difference at all. And I'll never hide
from that marking. My kinsman,
Major Molineaux, would know.
-
'The regular and uniform subordination
of one group to another, down to the
apparently insignificant animalcules in
pepper water - a proper society is
like a plenitude of Nature, nothing
ever lost, nothing ever wasted. Order
is Heaven's first law'...from Jonathan
Edwards and John Adams too, we get
where we go, we do what we do.

So within the fabled house of gables
I have to ride the carriage supplied.
And I have been a fool for far, far less.
