->''"Vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, noughts and crosses, eagles and hammers. Mere arbitrary signs. But every reality to which a sign has been attached is thereby made subject to its sign.

Our choice is between bread and bunting. And bunting, I need hardly add, is what we have almost unanimously chosen."''
