    “Sweet is the day of sacred rest;

    O may my heart in tune be found
    Like David’s harp of solemn sound.”
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    “They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
