Little Secret
r malcolm setters / graham setters:
"When
humanistic ideals and truth, succumb to blind Patriotism
and duty,
true reason is lost. Nonetheless,
for the sake of duty,
all
seems forgiven!
Alas,
Duty
as the arbiter of greed proves more
insidious than simple
conspiracy...
The great collector, connoisseur, and philanthropist Samuel
Courtauld of the Courtauld Institute fame might have hinted at just
such endemic problems when, “he refused a peerage in the
1937
Coronation Honours List, preferring "to keep his
independence and
integrity.”
