As through an Alpine village passed

A banner with the strange device,

all mountains
and the towering mountain trees.”

—Lorita Bertraun, Blind American skier. As quoted in WomenSports magazine, p. 29 (January 1976)
“Unfortunately, I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.”

That all things have their center in their dying....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
