Stability

Eileen Power (1889-1940), Medieval People (London: Methuen, 1963; rpt. 1966), p. 160:
The hurrying, scattering generation of today can hardly imagine the immovable stability of the village of past centuries, when generation after generation grew from cradle to grave in the same houses, on the same cobbled streets, and folk of the same name were still friends, as their fathers and grandfathers had been before them.
