The Liberty Bell

«Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all
the Land unto all the Inhabitants
thereof
Lev. XXV, X
By Order of the Assembly of the
Province of Pensylvania for the
State House in Philada»
1752

«If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening ...
all over this land,
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between all of
my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.
...
It's a bell of freedom»
Lee Hays and Pete Seeger
["If I Had a Hammer"]

"Friends, Romans,
countrymen,
lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar,
not to praise him.
The evil that men do
lives after them;
The good is oft interred
with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar.
The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar
was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously
hath Caesar answer'd it.
Here, under leave
of Brutus and the rest--
For Brutus is
an honourable man;
So are they all,
all honourable men--
Come I to speak
in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend,
faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says
he was ambitious;
And Brutus is
an honourable man.
He hath brought
many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did
the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar
seem ambitious?
When that the poor have
cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made
of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says
he was ambitious;
And Brutus is
an honourable man.
You all did see
that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented
him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse:
was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says
he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is
an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove
what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak
what I do know.
You all did love him once,
not without cause:
What cause withholds you
then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled
to brutish beasts,
And men have lost
their reason.
Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin
there with Caesar,
And I must pause
till it come back to me. (...)"

William Shakespeare
«Julius Caesar»
Act 3, Scene 2
