The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,

Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

To blow up the King and Parli窶冦ent.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England窶冱 overthrow;
By God窶冱 providence he was catch窶囘
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!”

“It is a human characteristic, which has been richly exploited in every era, that while hope of survival is still alive in a man, while he still believes his troubles will have a favorable outcome, and while he still has the chance to unmask treason or to save someone else by sacrificing himself, he continues to cling to the pitiful remnants of comfort and remains silent and submissive. When he has been taken and destroyed, when he has nothing more to lose, and is, in consequence, ready and eager for heroic action, his belated rage can only spend itself against the stone walls of solitary confinement. Or the breath of the death sentence makes him indifferent to earthly affairs.”

“He窶囘 passed the longest night of his life locked in mortal combat with his ghosts, calling up and then disavowing twenty years of memories.

“Para Mary, o problema era claro: ali estava uma possibilidade de trabalho, a qual devia ser aproveitada sem hesitaﾃｧﾃ｣o; Feld pagava bem e a atividade televisiva proporcionaria enorme prestﾃｭgio; todas as semanas, no final do programa de Coelho Hentman, o nome de Chuck, como um dos escritores, surgiria na tela, para todo o mundo nﾃ｣o-comuna. Mary sentiria orgulho, e aﾃｭ residia o fator-chave: o trabalho do marido seria notavelmente criativo. E para Mary, a criatividade era o abre-te-sﾃｩsamo da vida; o trabalho para a CIA, programando simulacros para propaganda que tagarelavam mensagens para africanos, latino-americanos e asiﾃ｡ticos incultos, nﾃ｣o dava asas ﾃ� criatividade; as mensagens costumavam ser as mesmas e, de qualquer maneira, a CIA era dona de mﾃ｡ reputaﾃｧﾃ｣o nos cﾃｭrculos liberais, vanguardistas e sofisticados frequentados por Mary.”

“Now does he feel
His secret murders sticking on his hands.
Now minutely revolts upbraid his faith-breach.

Nothing in love. Now does he feel his title
Hang loose about him, like a giant窶冱 robe
Upon a dwarfish thief.”
