A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs

by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose. If a thousand men were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood.
— “Civil Disobedience,”
Henry David Thoreau

According to Thoreau, how can a minority exercise power?

by following the laws that the majority agree upon

by engaging in violent conflict when necessary
by protesting as a group in a nonviolent way

by ensuring that just people are not imprisoned

2. The word 'turn' in this context means being born into the fold of animals instead of humans. It is a sort of reincarnation.

3.  The speaker wishes to live with animals because they are calm, not easily upset, and contented.

4. Alliteration was employed in the words- long and long.

Explanation:

1. The poet Walt Whitman was likely contemplating or thinking to himself of all the attributes of animals which made them pleasing to him.

2. As a human, if he was to turn and live with animals, that would mean no longer being born as a human but rather being born into the fold of animals.
