    If you keep your feathers well oiled the water of criticism will run off as from a duck’s back.
    Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    Oh that my Pow’r to Saving were confin’d:
    Why am I forc’d, like Heav’n, against my mind,
    To make Examples of another Kind?
    Must I at length the Sword of Justice draw?
    Oh curst Effects of necessary Law!
    How ill my Fear they by my Mercy scan,
    Beware the Fury of a Patient Man.
