Summary

The quote suggests that abstraction allows us to perceive the world in a more intricate and versatile manner. By simplifying and distorting reality, abstraction is able to uncover the hidden beauty, unconventional landscapes, unattractiveness, and profound realities that may go unnoticed when observing things purely in their concrete form. Even from what may appear to be meaningless or insignificant, abstraction has the power to reveal remarkable aspects of our world that usually remain unseen.

The concept of neutrality can lead to a brooding and pervasive devotion to the secular and a passive, or even active, hostility to the religious. Such results are not only not compelled by the Constitution, but, it seems to me, are prohibited by it.

The war of words is done;The red-lipped cannon speak;The battle has begun.The web your speeches spunTears and blood shall streak;The war of words is done.Smoke enshrouds the sun;Earth staggers at the shriekOf battle new begun.Poltroons and braggarts run:Woe to the poor, the meek!The war of words is done.And hope not now to shunThe doom that dogs the weak,Thunders every gun;Victory must be won.When the red-lipped cannon speak,The war of words is done,The slaughter has begun.
