    “To John I owed great obligation;

    To publish it to all the nation:
    Sure John and I are more than quit.”
    —Matthew Prior (1664–1721)

    “It is a life-and-death conflict between all those grand, universal, man-respecting principles which we call by the comprehensive term democracy, and all those partial, person-respecting, class-favoring elements which we group together under that silver-slippered word aristocracy. If this war does not mean that, it means nothing.”
