[Steely Tom]

We sit by and watch the barbarian.

We tolerate him in the long stretches of peace, we are not afraid.

We are tickled by his irreverence; his comic inversion of our old certitudes and our fixed creed refreshes us; we laugh.

But as we laugh we are watched by large and awful faces from beyond, and on these faces there are no smiles.

— Hilaire Beloc
