The Law of Nature and the Law of Order

By judicious use of this law of nature, the polygons and circles are almost always able to stifle sedition. No less than 120 rebellions are recorded in her annals. Besides minor outbreaks, numbered at 235, and they have all ended thus. Then the wretched rabble of the isosceles, planless and leaderless, are transfixed without resistance by a small body of their brethren. They are stirred to mutual warfare and perished by one another's angles.
