—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)

In the porches of Key West,
Behind the bougainvilleas
After the guitar is asleep,

You come tormenting.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“I cannot think that espionage can be recommended as a technique for building an impressive civilisation. It’s a lout’s game.”
