A Double agent (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the one who thinks that what escapes the web of intrigue must also be arranged — and so makes even the fake first arrangement come true.

A Double agent (n.) supplied ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the personal philosophy of a whole postrevolutionary generation, willing to pay with a short life for a few exalted years at the center.
