“In the corrupted currents of this world
Offence’s gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft ‘tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law; but ‘tis not so above:
There is no shuffling.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Beasts in their major freedom
Slumber in peace tonight.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
