If youget hungup oneverybodyelse'shangups,thenthe whole world's going to be nothing more than one huge gallows.

-Brautigan, Richard
  The Abortion:  An Historical Romance.

In the groves of their academy, at the end of every vista, you see nothing but the gallows.

-Burke, Edmund
  Reflections on the Revolution in France.

The gallows in my garden, people say, Is new and neat and adequately tall.

-Chesterton, G(ilbert) K(eith)
  'Ballade of Suicide'.

High upon the gallows tree Swung the noble-hearted three By the vengeful tyrant stricken in their bloom; But they met him face to face With the courage of their race, And they went with souls undaunted to their doom. 'God save Ireland!'said the heroes; 'God save Ireland', say they all: Whether on the scaffold high Or the battlefield we die, Oh, what matter when for Erin dear we fall.

-Sullivan,Timothy Daniel
  'God Save Ireland'.
