“All the Valley quivered one extended motion, wind

“Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

“Every man is not so much a workman in the world as he is a suggestion of that he should be. Men walk as prophecies of the next age.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
