    John Malkovich (b. 1953)

    I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with Blood.
    John Brown (1800–1859)

    we are the circle of the crazy ladies
    who sit in the lounge of the mental house
    and smile at the smiling woman
    who passes us each a bell,
