To those who know the speech of hills and rivers straightening a stream is like shipping vagrants—a very successful method of passing trouble from one place to the next. It solves nothing in any collective sense.

Your edict, King, was strong, But all your strength is weakness itself against. The immortal unrecorded laws of God. They are not merely now: they were, and shall be, Operative for ever, beyond man utterly. I knew I must die, even without your decree: I am only mortal. And if I must die. Now, before it is my time to die, Surely this is no hardship: can anyone. Living, as I live, with evil all about me, Think Death less than a friend?
Sophocles
