“My solitaria
Are the meditations of a central mind.
I hear the motions of the spirit and the sound
Of what is secret becomes, for me, a voice
That is my own voice speaking in my ear.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice.”

“Cold an old predicament of the breath:
Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete,
Accept the university of death.”
