"Go to Joseph!" said king Pharaoh, "and do whatever he tells you to do."

How refreshing it is to contemplate our plutocrats lying beside their nectar like a job lot of Olympian gods "careless of mankind" while " they smile in secret, looking over wasted lands, Blight and famine, plague and earthquake, roaring deeps and fiery sands, Clanging fights and flaming towns, and sinking ships and praying hands."
