“Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts,—a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.”

“Continuing to live that is, repeat
A habit formed to get necessaries
Is nearly always losing, or going without.”
