Introduction
L'eau et les rêves (Water and Dreams) 1942
“Like those dreams that have pleased us. They escape us and we vainly try to hold onto them.”

“All we have of freedom
All we use or know
This our fathers bought for us
Long and long ago”

Context: When the government seeks to expand its power to spy on us, for example, it should be required to show how the loss of anonymity and freedom will make us safer. The FBI already enjoys the broad power to eavesdrop; according to government reports, it intercepts some two million innocent telephone and Internet conversations every year. The administration wants to expand its power to conduct surveillance by minimizing the role of the courts in monitoring it. Will this make us safer from terrorism or simply less safe from our government?
“Solitude shows us what should be; society shows us what we are.”
