Lady columbia points indignantly to some mud stains on the columns of the white house and delivers a lecture taken from shakespeare's julius caesar. Caption:
columbia. “o judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts,
and men have lost their reason!
they, that have done this deed, are honorable;
what private griefs they have, alas, i know not,
that made them do it; they are wise and honorable,
and will, no doubt, with reasons answer you. I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts;
i am no orator, as brutus is:
i tell you that which you yourselves do know. ”
— julius caesar, act iii, scene ii. Date: 4 May 1872.
