Examples

  • In my own limited experience, I have seen fat ones and thin ones; aunts with bushy eyebrows and aunts with practically no hair at all; brittle aunts and emollient aunts, dunces and geniuses, warriors and placaters, tyrants and timid mice; those who uplift and those who only dismay; takers and givers, stimulators and bores -- the list is really endless.

  • Yet these rough men stand ready, hard weapons to hand, To put placaters behind them, draw a line in the sand, To preserve for the peaceniks what they won't defend, So their own unearned freedom won't perish, won't end.
