This page compresses a whole moral argument into an aphorism about making men out of lines and squares and tearing apart the new world in the process.

Because it is so short, the statement lands like a shard from a larger essay or poem. It suggests that order, geometry, and construction can become forms of damage rather than improvement.

Two-line aphorism - I know that to build a man must be plumb, in lines and squares. Doesn't that just tear apart the new world? Sharp skeptical note on construction/building as metaphor.
