Walt Whitman's Caution

Walt Whitman

   TO The States, or any one of them, or any city of The States,
         Resist much, obey little;
   Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved;
   Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city, of this earth, ever
         afterward resumes its liberty.
