Leicht bei einander wohnen die Gedanken,
Doch hart im Raume stoßen sich die Sachen;
Wo eines Plaz nimmt, muß das andre rücken,
Wer nicht vertrieben sein will, muß vertreiben;

Da herrscht der Streit, und nur die Stärke siegt.—(Schiller, Wallenstein)

The village of Porchester is a place of great antiquity, but it is little, and except for its old castle of no account. Its houses are all contained in a single street, beginning at the castle-gate and ending long before you reach the Portsmouth and Fareham road, which is only a quarter of a mile from the castle. Most of them are cottages, with thatched or red-tiled roofs, but they are not mean or squalid cottages; the folk are well-to-do, though humble, and every house in the village, small or great, is covered all over, back and front, with climbing roses.- (Besant, Autobiography)
