    The pork sizzles and cries for fish. Luckily for the foolish race, and this particularly foolish generation of trout, the night shut down at last, not a little deepened by the dark side of Ktaadn, which, like a permanent shadow, reared itself from the eastern bank.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There are portraits and still-lifes
    And the first, because ‘human’
    Does not excel the second,
    —Charles Tomlinson (b. 1927)
