—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“A counterfeiting law-factory, standing half in a slave land and half in a free! What kind of laws for free men can you expect from that?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

To such as trust her faithfulness.
When the forest shall mislead me,
When the night and morning lie,
When the sea and land refuse to feed me,
‘Twill be time enough to die.”
