1530 -- Etienne de La Boetie lives...The Politics of Obedience:
Discourse of Voluntary Servitude is published poshumously,
by Montaigne, & is considered an early precursor of anarchism.
Around 1833 Emerson wrote his poem, "Étienne de la Boèce".
Tolstoy used extracts from the Discourse in three of his books.
Gustav Landauer made the Discourse central to his book,
Die Revolution.
"That which controls you has only two eyes,
has only two hands, has only one body &
but one thing which the least of men in all the
cities has, but more than you all, it is the
advantage which you give him to destroy you... "

discipline), his lodging & his daily fare (fish caught at

to the point of mania & lucid to the point of hallucination,
