It immobilizes personality, yet at the same time it enormously sharpens the intention of the group and welds that group, as nothing else in a crisis can weld it, to purposeful action. It renders the mass mobile though it immobilizes personality. The symbol is the instrument by which in the short run the mass escapes from its own inertia, the inertia of indecision, or the inertia of headlong movement, ...

The smith broke upon the anvil the sword of state that he was hammering for himself. Whether or no this will serve as ...

When the twin anklets were nipped on the leg-bars that held them, He brotherly greeted the armourers stooping to weld them.

Thus we had speech by the way, but not touching his sorrow Rather his red Yesterday and his regal To-morrow, Wherein he ...
