civilization luxury selfishness
A semi-civilized state of society, equally removed from the extremes of barbarity and of refinement, seems to be that particular meridian under which all the reciprocities and gratuities of hospitality do most readily flourish and abound.

You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a doornail.
