    Testimony of all ages forces us to admit that war is among the most dangerous enemies to liberty, and that the executive is the branch most favored by it of all the branches of Power.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    & cross the damp cold lawn & down the bluff
    into the terrible water & walk forever
    under it out toward the island.
