Occasionally the Governor lifted his voice in songs of unimpeachable literary and musical quality that rang sonorously above the hum of the engine. "Who is Sylvia? What is she?

Political economy was not Coleridge's forte. In politics he was happier. But this is the necessity of us all. Keen are the refutations of time.
