    “If all the world and love were young,

    To live with thee and be thy Love.”
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

    “Hell is a city much like London—
    A populous and a smoky city;
    There are all sorts of people undone,
    And there is little or no fun done;
    Small justice shown, and still less pity.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
