“Remember, Remember, the fifth of November,
the Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!

Poor old England to overthrow.
By God's providence he was catch'd,
With a dark lantern and burning match.”
― Nadine Brandes, Fawkes

“They had something worth dying for. Ah, but you have something they don't.
