The specialization of our modern mechanical civilization has caused a submergence of the individual into the group or class.

In short, some temporary submergence under the savage flood was the fate of many of the most civilised states of Christendom; and it is quite ridiculous to argue that Russia, which wrestled hardest, must have recovered least.

Geologically they belong to the county, for they are the last expiring protest of the Mendip chain against its final submergence in the sea.
