Auden said:

"Law, says the judge as he looks down his nose,
Speaking clearly and most severely,
Law is as I've told you before,
Law is---as you know, I suppose---
Law is (let me explain it once more)
Law is The Law."

"Yet law abiding scholars write:
Law is neither wrong nor right,
Law is only crimes
Punished by places and by times.
Law is the clothes men wear
Anytime, Anywhere,
Law is Good-morning and Good-night."


Jacques Lacanstein says:

"A letter always reaches it destination,
unless its has a really bad hangover..."
