Titled from T. S. Elliot's The Wasteland: "By this, and this only, we have existed/Which is not to be found in our obituaries/Or in memories draped by the beneficent spider/Or under seals broken by the lean solicitor/In our empty rooms."

My spider's not beneficent, though...

Preventing a suicide is not necessarily a beneficent act if it forces the potential suicide to continue in a life of misery.

@muellershewrote.com I started rewatching #TheWestWing after you mentioned it on #TheDailyBeans. It pains me to be made more aware of the contrast between a rational, beneficent government, and this evil administration. I miss having confidence in our leaders. There's so much work to do. #Resist
