“Now William pulled the lever down,
And click-clack went the printing-press.

Who had peeped while the angels undress.”

The old star-eaten blanket of the sky,
That I may fold it round me and in comfort lie.”

“Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy?

—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
