The story follows Gabriel Syme, who joins a covert anti-anarchist unit at Scotland Yard. He encounters Lucian Gregory, a rebellious poet, at a party, where they engage in a heated discussion about the nature of poetry. Gregory believes that revolt fuels poetic expression, while Syme contends that law is the true essence of poetry, provocatively suggesting that the London Underground timetable exemplifies this. Their ideological clash sets the stage for a deeper exploration of art, order, and chaos in society.
