Excerpt: ...it for myself, the red land, the green land, the fallow and the lea! The want of land is a great stoppage to a man having means to lay out in stock. (Sings.) (Air, "I wish I had the shepherd's lamb.") "I wish I had both mill and kiln, I wish I had of land my fill; I wish I had both mill and kiln, And all would follow after!" Flannery: Ah, the land, the land, the rotten land, and what will you have in the end but the breadth of your back of it?

I'm not like a potato having eyes this way and that. People were harmless long ago and why wouldn't they be made harmless again? Aristotle said, "Fair play is more beautiful than the morning and the evening star!" "Be friendly with one another," he said, "and let the lawyers starve!"
