And for every so many sigh a death.
That’s what I always tell my wife
Is the multiplication table of life.””

And the table that holds a platter of pears,
Vermilion smeared over green, arranged for show.”

Where there is no common Power, there is no Law; where no Law, no Injustice. Force, and Fraud, are in war the two Cardinal virtues.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“These equal syllables alone require,
Though oft the ear the open vowels tire;”
