From "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost---

"Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out
And to whom I was like to give offense
Something there is that doesn't love a wall
That wants it down"

Thanks to Lawrence Tribe for reminding me of this poem in his tweet.

A wall for the sake of a wall....which seems to serve no real purpose other than satisfying some ancestral whim.
