    If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or
    can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs,
    than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his
    house, tho it be in the woods. And if a man knows the law,
    people will find it out, tho he live in a pine shanty, and resort
    to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the
    prisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint landscape, and convey
    into oils and ochers all the enchantments of spring or autumn; or
    can liberate or intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious
    songs and verses, 'tis certain that the secret can not be kept:
    the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and
    tens and fifties to his door.
