“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves ; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education.

“A song she heard
Of cold that gathers
Like winter's tongue
Among the shadows
It rose like blackness

Vomit rise
A Stone of ruin
From burn to chill
Like black moonrise
Her voice fell still...”
