Some things suggest solemnity.
Grand works gather gravitas,
Demand devotion through decorum,
And such shows a sense of awe
Fitting what is felt the finest.
Much in manners manifests,
Follows from the forms thus used,
But best is not always most baroque,
And any tool is an easy weapon
In hands hard-set to hold it so.
Courtesy can cut, of course,
And bludgeon.
