Jbor posted a very nice one way back last Saturday, which really should have 
put an end to this whole line of bullshit we've had to put up with this past 
week:

Say then, that Mason at last came to admire Dixon for his Bravery,-- a 
different sort than they'd shown each other years before, on the *Seahorse* 
where they'd had no choice. Nor quite the same as they'd both exhibited by 
the Warrior Path. Here in Maryland they had a choice at last, and Dixon 
chose to act, and Mason not to,-- unless he had to,-- what each of us wishes 
he might have the unthinking Grace to do, yet fails to do. To act for all 
those of us who have so fail'd. For the Sheep. ... (698.3)
