passage from Animal Farm.
As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with
tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would
have been to say that this was not what they had aimed
at when they had set themselves years ago to work for
the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of
terror and slaughter were not what they had looked
forward to on that night when old Major first stirred
them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of
the future, it had been of a society of animals set free
from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working
according to his capacity, the strong protecting the
weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings
with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead
--she did not know why-they had come to a time
when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce,
growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had
to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing
to shocking crimes. There was no thought of rebellion.
