He had taken her, caught her soul and her imagination, lawlessly, unfairly perhaps; but there it remained, an imperishable mark.
"The Salamander"
Owen Johnson
Instead of refraining, as we had done, from violence, and inducing us to retire by negotiation, you fell upon us in violation of your agreement, and slew some of us in fight, of which we do not so much complain, for in that there was a certain justice; but others who held out their hands and received quarter, and whose lives you subsequently promised us, you lawlessly butchered.
"The History of the Peloponnesian War"
Thucydides
The last wrong wrong of which you complain consists in our having, as you say, lawlessly invaded your town in time of peace and festival.
