Summary

This humorous quote suggests that the outcome of a jury trial may not necessarily be determined by the evidence or the merits of the case, but rather by the persuasive skills of the lawyers involved. It humorously implies that the result of a trial could be more influenced by the ability of the lawyers to present their arguments convincingly to the jury, rather than the righteousness of their client's case.

The sickness of our times for me has been just this damn thing that everything has been getting smaller and smaller and less and less important, that the romantic spirit has dried up, that there is no shame today.

You are aware of only one unrest;Oh, never learn to know the other!Two souls, alas, are dwelling in my breast,And one is striving to forsake its brother.Unto the world in grossly loving zest,With clinging tendrils, one adheres;The other rises forcibly in questOf rarefied ancestral spheres.If there be spirits in the airThat hold their sway between the earth and sky,Descend out of the golden vapors thereAnd sweep me into iridescent life.Oh, came a magic cloak into my handsTo carry me to distant lands,I should not trade it for the choicest gown,Nor for the cloak and garments of the crown.
