When the Devil goeth about like a roaring lion, he goeth about in a shape by which few but savages and hunters are attracted. But when he is trimmed, smoothed, and varnished, according to the mode; when he is aweary of vice, and aweary of virtue, used up as to brimstone, and used up as to bliss, then, whether he take to the serving out of red tape or to the kindling of red fire, he is the very Devil.--Hard Times--Charles Dickens
