Unmeasured Strength (2011)
Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux (1636–1711) French poet and critic
Et le Mien et le Tien, deux frères pointilleux,
Par son ordre amenant les procès et la guerre,
En tous lieux de ce pas vont partager la terre ;
En tous lieux, sous les noms de bon droit et de tort,
Vont chez elle établir le seul droit du plus fort.
Satire 11, l. 141
