'tis annus mirabilis
on liberty of human species*
a one who errs to opine
does so, as the many, now with ease**
*On Liberty (1859) was published the same year as Darwin's seminal "On the origin of species"
** "If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind." J.S. Mill in On Liberty
