Helix optera is dug out of the earth where he has been peacefully enjoying his summer sleep, cracked like an egg, and eaten raw, presumably alive. Or boiled in oil.

—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“Taft, laughing, “What troubles [brother] Charles is, he is afraid Roosevelt will get the credit of making me President and not himself.” To Charles: “I will agree not to minimize the part you played in making me President if you will agree not to minimize the part Roosevelt played.””

“and you undid the reins
and I undid the buttons,
the bones, the confusions,

and we rose up like wheat....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
