Intriguing passage from a novel I'm reading:

[Brigid]

It's from "Scarlet" by Stephen Lawhead. It focuses on Will Scarlet from the Robin Hood legends. He's in prison, awaiting execution after being captured during a botched attempt to kidnap the Sheriff of Nottingham.

"Blame, now. There is a nasty black bog if ever there was one. If I think about it long enough I come 'round to the conclusion that if blame is to be spooned out to anyone at all the Good Lord himself must take the swallow for making it so fiendishly easy for the strong and powerful to crush down the weak and powerless. Would that he had foreseen the host of problems arising from that little error. Oh, but that en't the world we got. I suppose we don't deserve a better one."
