“So the Snark found the verdict, although as it owned,
It was spent with the toils of the day:
When it said the word GUILTY! the Jury all groaned,
And some of them fainted away.”

“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
