"Millerite" is a word in ENGLISH
A sulphide of nickel, commonly occurring in delicate
capillary crystals, also in incrustations of a bronze yellow; --
sometimes called hair pyrites.
A believer in the doctrine of William Miller (d. 1849),
who taught that the end of the world and the second coming of Christ
were at hand.
The uniform is that which we do not choose, that which is assigned to us; it is the certitude of the universal against the precariousness of the individual. When the values that were once so solid come under challenge and withdraw, heads bowed, he who cannot live without them (without fidelity, family, country, discipline, without love) buttons himself up in the universality of his uniform as if that uniform were the last shred of transcendence that could protect him against the cold of a future in which there will be nothing left to respect.
