Rudyard's take

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire

Hey, you can't build Da Radiant Future without a heap of bones buried in the foundation.
