摘索因卡詩一段寄 大埔事件"拆政府" 2013年8月18臺北凱道:

非豐祭而是人慾橫流之恆嘔
損益計算時但留殘渣棄佳釀
No feast but the eternal retch of human surfeit
No drinking but dregs at reckoning of loss and profit---IKEJA, Friday, Four O'clock ( October '66) Idanre & other poems (1967,p.49) by Wole Soyinka,

~~~~~
Liberalism triumphed on the principle that the best government is that
which governs the least; now for all the western nations political
wisdom has recast this ideal of liberty into liberality. The shift has
thrown the vocabulary into disorder…p.688

「政治『智慧』卻已將這份自由（liberty）重鑄成慷慨（liberality）之意…….」台北鄭譯本，p. 1155

出於明智的政治考慮把放任自由改變為開明公允…..」大陸本，p. 698

hc贊成台北本：這是10 年前的見解，現在我的看法反過來。
