    “I felt that he, a prisoner in the midst of his enemies and under the sentence of death, if consulted as to his next step or resource, could answer more wisely than all his countrymen beside. He best understood his position; he contemplated it most calmly. Comparatively, all other men, North and South, were beside themselves.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “And tell so readily, he knoweth well
    How ev’ry star by proper name to call?”
