For where there is no Common-wealth, there is, (as hath been
already shewn) a perpetuall warre of every man against his neighbour;
And

every thing is his that getteth it, and keepeth it by
force; which is neither Propriety nor Community; but Uncertainty.

Orwell - Coming Up for Air |

We will swap horses with the rising moon,
And mend that funny skillet called Orion,
Color the stars like San Francisco's street-lights,
And paint our sign and signature on high
In planets like a bed of crimson pansies;
While a million fiddles shake all listening hearts,
Crying good fortune to the Universe,
Whispering
adventure to the Ganges waves,
And to the spirits, and all winds and gods.
