That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property.

I am a man of constant sorrow
I’ve seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where i was born and raised
For six long yeasr i’ve been in trouble
No pleasure here on earth i’ve found
For in this owrld i’m bound to ranble
I have no friends to help him out
Its fare thee well my only lover
I never expect to see you again
For i’ve bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps i’ll die upon that train
You can bury me in Sunny Valley
For many years where i may lay
Then you may learn to learn another
While I am sleeping in my grave
Maybe your friends think i’m just a stranger
A face you’ll never see no more
But there is one promise that is given
I’ll meet you on God’s golden shore
Man of Constant Sorrow from “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
