The second half of my political life has been to rebuild, and to get rid of the despotic and corrupting tendencies and the animosities of the war, and other legacies of slavery.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

She is already trampled, that one,

She is the dead bee called love.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
