We shall then be at liberty to weep for Captain Brown. Then, and not till then, we will take our revenge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Let every eye negotiate for itself,

“Four and twenty at her back
And they were a’ clad out in green;
Tho the King of Scotland had been there

Till we cam to yon bonny ha’
Whare the roof was o’ the beaten gold
And the floor was o’ the cristal a’.”
