• Comrades!' he cried. 'You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples.

• In glades they meet skull after skull
  Where pine cones lay-the rusted gun,
  Green shoes full of bones,
  the mouldering coat And cuddled up skeleton;
  And scores of such.
  Some start as in dreams,
  And comrades lost bemoan;
  By the edge of those wilds Stonewall had charged-
  But the year and the Man were gone.

  Herman Melville
