No, just Foetens cloaca in stercus fovea (a stinking sewer in a dung pit). And Sandberg’s The People, Yes!— what fools we have been to imagine, that merely because our little Republic, on a few statistical long tail throws of the dice, threw up one or two leaders like Washington and Lincoln, we were somehow an exception to the general pattern of history. Which is the dismal record of a continual uninterrupted sequence of cruelty, venality, cupidity, viciousness, avarice, and stupidity. Above all, cruelty.. and stupidity.
Oh, yes, pretense and mendacity. An example of which here we have, here: me—a posturing pretender to being a Latinist, but who in reality only knows what smatterings of Latin that have leaked into his circus of competence from all the books and poems he bumped into, amplified and hopefully corrected through Google Translate.
I am sure you, unlike me, did not have to avail yourself of such a crutch!
