“Under the greenwood tree
Who loves to lie with me,
And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet bird’s throat,
Come hither, come hither, come hither!
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.”
