    The careful text-books measure
    (Let all who build beware!)
    The load, the shock, the pressure
    Material can bear.
    So, when the buckled girder
    Lets down the grinding span,
    The blame of loss, or murder,
    Is laid upon the man.
    Not on the Stuff — the Man!

    - Rudyard Kipling
