Celebrating the Anti-Psychiatry Movement
The labour and the wounds are vain,
The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
And as things have been, they remain.
When daylight comes, comes in the light,
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly,
But westward, look, the land is bright.
(“Say not the struggle nought availeth”, by Arthur Hugh Clough, 1848)
