In the elder days of art
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part

found this in Harry Frankfurt's essay on bullshit
[now
published as a tiny hardcover - originally a part of frankfurt's philosophical
essays collected in
the importance of what we care about, cambridge, 1988]
alas, elder days are always marching
forward, so this bit of verse is as relevant now as it was when written...
