T. S. Eliot
When the Stranger says: What is the meaning of this city? Do you huddle close together because you love each other? What will you answer? We all dwell together To make money from each other? or This is a community? Oh my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger. Be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions.

T. S. Eliot
The rats are underneath the piles/ The Jew is underneath the lot.
