The people, yes,
Out of what is their change
from chaos to order
and chaos again?“Yours till the hangman doth us part,”
Don Magregor ended his letters.“It annoys me to die,”
said a philosopher.
“I should like to see what follows.”To those who had ordered them to death,
one of them said:
“We die because the people are asleep
and you will die because the people will awaken.”Greek met Greek when Phocion and Democritus spoke.
“You will drive the Athenians mad some day and they will kill you.”
“Yes, me when they go mad, and as sure as they get sane again, you.”
—Carl Sandburg, The People, Yes
