To belong to other nations,
He remains an Englishman!”

And this has been done without any dictator’s power to command, without conscription of labor or confiscation of capital, without concentration camps and without a scratch on freedom of speech, freedom of the press or the rest of the Bill of Rights.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Two months dead, I wrestle with your name
Whose separate letters make a paltry sum
That is not you.”
