    Washington isn’t a city, it’s an abstraction.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The man whose silent days
    In harmless joys are spent,
    Whom hopes cannot delude,
    Nor sorrow discontent:

    That man needs neither towers
    Nor armour for defence,
    Nor secret vaults to fly
    From thunder’s violence.
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
